Easy meta-programming, ranges, and all the features that support 
them, changed my life to the extent that I've concluded that we 
must spread Mars' glory to the impoverished and emaciated 
programmers who wallow in programming's drudgery. Yes, they will 
resist. And yes, they will despise we who bring peace to their 
weathered souls. It will be difficult--possibly 
insurmountable--yet through great works and many a blog post, 
even the most inveterate among them will capitulate to Mars' gift 
of productivity, extensibility, and pacification. All hail Mars!
