Reflecting on what I learned from tinkering with Elisp today.

Was fun to get the noggin thinking functional rather than procedural. For long control flows I seem to think more imperatively at present, but I love mapping functions on lists and wonder if this will scale up.

I love how easy it is to get descriptions of library functions and read their source directly in Emacs.

I can’t ever see myself enjoying balancing parentheses but maybe you just get used to it..
