We are always on the receiving end of some claims. The feeling of easy accomplishment and unhindered flow is not something you get from every language out there, and not all languages explicitly advertise themselves as "maximizing developer happiness". I've never focused on lisp or emacs, but I am neutral towards their claims that god wrote the universe in lisp. Same with a perl user's claims of succinctness. I don't judge or envy them. Won't know until I learn the language and its tooling. And you won't really know until you try chaining a few map/reduce/select operations and have them compute lazily in ruby.
