I’m a new emacs user and I’ve been using doom emacs for a while now and i’m willing to learn Elisp, but found out that it might not be as easy as it might seem at first, because as i found out, lisp is quite different from other programming languages that i’m used to, especially knowing that i’m not a programmer by any means and my programming knowledge is very little, not mentioning that elisp is pretty old so the learning resources might not be as much as other more popular programming languages
so my question is, Is it worth it?
like what is the level of mastery do i need to achieve to start implementing custom elisp in my configs to enhance my emacs experience?
and how exactly can i improve my emacs experience if i learned elisp?
in other words, how rewarding it would be
It’s sort of a silly question.
To customise emacs beyond clicking around in ‘customise’ you need to write elisp. If you learn little elisp then you can only customise it using other people’s code, if you learn a lot of it then you can write an mua.
You decide where you want to be on that spectrum.
