I tend to believe in the value of those magic moments and think we should raise expectations in terms of training and practice to appreciate and understand them (I've never used Finagle so I don't know the specifics of it, maybe it is beyond any reasonable standard of comprehensibility). The problem is when the magic isn't happening. How do you convince yourself or someone you work with to take off the wizard hat, come down out of the clouds and implement the naive/verbose/ugly solution because the elegant stroke of genius hasn't come and the feature is taking forever? This is where Go and PHP shine, less temptation to guild the lily.
