Tangentially related: I've used emacs for coding for a decade, and for email for a few years. I love it. But I'm missing out on its arguably strongest feature: elisp! My config file is a tragedy of stuff I hamfistedly cobbled together. I'd like to learn this skill properly, and thus conquer the world (I assume this makes me able to).

Can anyone recommend a resource? I speak some C-like languages, and Python and Haskell, but no LISP at all. I'm an emacs user, but have only superficial knowledge of how emacs actually works.

(I've been cluelessly hacking at emacs for decades, and there's ALWAYS something new to learn.)

Thanks!
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LearnEmacsLisp looks pretty good, too, actually.
