I like to think of Emacs as a virtual lisp machine for writing your own text editor.

BTW, there's a great movie "Lobster" [1], where this "anti-social dance" phenomenon is hilariously portrayed in one of the scenes. Highly recommended.

Are you sure about lambdas..? They are kind of crippled in comparison to almost any other language which has them.

Regarding the comments here "why not Redis via UDS/loopback?" etc. - there are some cases where such solution won't fit - e.g., running your service on Mesos cluster.

Speaking of tibetan singing bowls - I highly recommend Klaus Wiese's work [1], especially "Tibetische Klangschalen I" and "Tibetische Klangschalen II". He really knew how to deal with this stuff...

Speaking of such parallels... There's that classic essay by Thomas Scoville - "The Elements Of Style: UNIX As Literature" (http://theody.net/elements.html). I highly recommend reading it to anyone, even though it's not directly tied to "programmers" in the contemporary sense of this term.
