Interesting comparison. While the article relates the two at a somewhat meta level, I've often had this fairly visceral feeling that programming in lisp or haskell is like folding an origami figure. The strange bit is that I don't know the abcs of origami, and yet this feeling doesn't escape me. For example, I've dreamt of programming interfaces implemented via the Leap Motion controller taking the form of origami or sculpting.

Now I'm really intrigued to hear this analogy from someone else and might actually pick up some paper and start folding :)

I mean, dude, when you really think about it, all programming really is is changing data from one shape to another, man..
