Emacs Love Tale by sdp
I've thought about writing a blog post trying to capture the magic of Emacs.By "magic" I really just mean having a super low barrier to having your code running and working in Emacs. You just open your config files, put in a line of code, and then you're done.Of course there are other barriers - Emacs has a huge learning curve and Elisp is harder to learn if you aren't familiar with Lisp like languages.Still, there are no other programs out there like Emacs. You always have to either create your own extension, modify the source code, etc.Realizing that you could kinda just make whatever you'd like in Emacs is an amazing feeling. I don't even use Emacs as my primary editor at work and I still think about cool things I could hack in my config files.
