A mini yak-shave to be able to sensibly eval scheme in spacemacs. For `C-x C-e` to eval the last sexp sensibly, you need to be after the last paren. By default in evil mode, navigation to the end of the line ends you up *on* the last paren, not after it.

Setting:

(setq evil-move-cursor-back nil)

will navigate you to after the last paren.

Anyway, here’s a few notes I made while watching the video.
