>Lisp is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive parenthesized prefix notation. There are many dialects of Lisp, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure and Elisp.

>Emacs is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting free/libre text editor and computing environment, with a Lisp interpreter at its core.

How do you manage your packages? I like straight.el, but it's too aggressive about pulling dependencies (like bleeding-edge org for any org package).

Fun fact: EVAL in CL evaluates the given form in the null lexical environment regardless of where it is called. Which means that this:
(defun test-eval (expr)
  (let ((y 3))
    (eval expr)))

(test-eval 'y)


Will cause a runtime error since Y is not bound (of course, assuming that there was no dynamic variable named Y defined previously).

However, if you include the LET bindings in the form itself:
(defun test-eval (expr)
  (eval `(let ((y 3)) ,expr)))

Then (test-eval 'y) will return 3, as you'd expect. Note how backquotes, despite being most often used for macros, can also serve many other purposes.

How do you guys feel about wolfram? It seems to be the preferred langauge used by mathmeticians and physicists and it's very lispy. How would it fare if it wasn't propietary?

is use-package useful for a beginner? i kinda want to use it to make things easy but i think it might obscure some elisp that i would otherwise be forced to learn. what do you guys think?
--- 92829072
>>92828985
use-package hides to much detail from you. Just use with-eval-after-load, add-hook, define-key, and a few more "primitive" macros/functions first.
--- 92829159
>>92829072
yeah thanks i will do that. what do you think about wrapping init.el into an org file? is that actually a good practice or just a youtube meme?

unless you're planning to write a detailed description of your configuration like protesilaos once did, you're better off without "literate programming"
