Well done Matheus to a good intro to emacs lisp! I'm not a developer! I find that I get lost very quickly on a lot of Youtube videos on explaining elisp! This was good! Please keep it up!

Eventhough new to programming, me too found Robert Chassell Book great & clear to understand. But as Ilija mentioned, the lack of good video tutorials is compensated by yours, Continue this wonderful creations...

Great video. Actually the best elisp tutorial on youtube. It would be great if you continue. Because emacs community on needs this kind of tutorials much more then configuration once. The youtube is full of those but elisp once are either bad or non-existent. Best resource to learn elisp is of course "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" by Robert J. Chassell which is great book by the way. But good Emacs lisp tutorials are lacking. Great job once more.

You can also use C-M x to evaluate a sexp and you do not need to be at the end of the sexp. Great video.

Hi Matheus, I really like the theme you used here. Which theme is it ?

[stylersimon]

Can one just not make a emacs-lisp tutorial without requiring to watch a lotr-length set of videos before?

Does Emacs worth it to switch to over Vim ? As i know Emacs is bloated and the keybindings is kinda messy.

Lisp is multi-paradigm not functional...
