My highlight of 2019 was learning emacs.

I see it as an investment, since it will probably outlive me and anything an IDE can do, _technically_, can be done in emacs.

I was previously a vim user and I wanted to extend my editor but I really hate vimscript. I took a look at Emacs's Elisp and I liked it. To my surprise, the ecosystem was updated with my current tech stack (TypeScript, with the Tide plugin). I was really used to vim so I decided to create my own 'distro' and I began recreating some vim editing functionality along with similar keys (Since I'm not using evil mode or anything, I just made a prefix with Ctrl).

At the end I realized I only liked vim because of its ubiquity and keymaps.
