This is drives home some of the things I really like about scheme. Scheme is built on a few selected primitives and much of the language comes together on top of that.
Since learning that I have started disliking all the things that I just have to accept in other languages. I can accept the c++ variant of "because this and that comes together like this. Because speed", but the pythonesque "because because" drives me insane.
