I'd love to know what sorts of software stacks "feel" right to people. Everyone has their own way of thinking, and in my experience when you find that particular method/language/framework of coding that works in a similar way that you think I've gotten this wonderful zen moment.
I'll start: For me as a web developer its recently been Node.js with a browserified frontend. Its easy to pick up a module/concept, write it as its own little machine, put it down and hook into it from the bigger structure. I can quickly zoom out to the larger view of the project and dig right back down to a problem area. I get to make a machine to handle a thing once and only once, and don't ever need to repeat myself.

What makes you giddy to work with?
