I'd rather be writing Lisp

bayprogrammer’s emacs.d

My old .emacs.d was imploding under its own weight. I’m starting over here.

Why Emacs? Why not Vim?

I do use Vim, but I’d rather use Emacs. I do write JavaScript, Python, and other things; but I’d rather write Lisp (and Lisp-aligned languages such as Ruby and Elixir). Therefore I prefer Emacs Lisp to VimScript and Lua. Therefore I prefer Emacs to Vim.

Also Emacs has far nicer and more ergonomic keybindings than Vim. 🧌
