Yes. I find sometimes that programming in Racket and other Lisps is so efficient, that whenever something starts looking tedious, I start reconsidering if there's a more elegant way I'm missing to implement it. Learning it, hacking it, and reading about it (and Scheme and other Lisps as well as Haskell) have done marvelous things for my programming skills.

Today I wrote a struct system in 29 lines of code. Kinda hard sometimes to do that and then even think about going back to, well, much of anything but another Lisp or composable FP language, really.
