I've been doing a lot of Elixir recently, and I have a fair amount of experience with Scheme and Clojure. The biggest "aha" moment for me with Elixir came when I realized that everything, just like in a LISP, was an expression.

Then, when I learned about Elixir's macro system, I thought, "wait a minute, this is LISP! This is just a LISP in Ruby's clothing in Erlang's pasture!"

That was a delight. :) My heart still belongs to the LISP family, but right now I'm working as an Elixir developer.
