This reminds me of LISP, but it's hard to explain why. Essentially, there's a common way to write a program in LISP that works in a similar way. The program goes to do one thing, but ends up having to do a lot of other stuff beforehand. I guess it's kind of like a certain worst case scenario of that butter post I made too.
