I'm loving emacs a lot more now because of chatGPT, being able to ask quickly how to do XYZ in dired mode, or get a some elisp function to combine two common operations, it's been nice being able to just ask and get the answer in 20 seconds rather than reference the emacs manual

Forgot to add, also checkout Rash, made in racket, you can combine bash commands with racket

I'll give this a try later. I do recommend learning how to use info mode though, it's very powerful.
Same here. Been struggling to remember idiomatic ways to write Elisp. But now with ChatGPT as a tutor I am writing a ton of Elisp to do all sorts of non trivial text transformation stuff, things I‘d have used Python for.
I used chapGPT to figure out how to get the same information that appears in *buffer-list* - it was a pretty quick session.
