It's always bothered me that programming languages aren't programmable.

Well, I keep hearing that Lisp is, but I haven't put much effort into it. (I'd need a Lisp that runs in the browser, for starters!) Maybe I should take another look...

Or maybe I wish the VM was programmable. "Warn me when this type of operation takes place", or "Print the name of every function before it is invoked", etc. I end up just copy-pasting my own temporary statements all over the program.
