Lambda the Ultimate

I would normally post this to G+, but I'm in a 3 day vacation weekend behind the great firewall, so here goes. Pursuing a CLOS submission on hackernews this morning, I came across an awesome quote in the comments section:

I'm a fan of reading the ****ing manual and thus you're preaching to the choir on that. But I'm not an evangelical baptist about it. Truth is that most people program by page faulting - writing some code, hitting a bug, and googling for a solution, lather rinse repeat.

Many would find this very controversial, but it is increasingly true for younger programmers (and I've gotten into this habit myself). It has serious implications on programming language design: efficient feedback loops are much more important as design occurs more by doing than being done up front, functionality should be discoverable at least by searching. What else?
