On: Ask HN: How to become good at Emacs/Vim?

[dmichulke]

When I think about my coding skills today, I think I owe them primarily

- to languages: partly Java (OO), partly Prolog (declarative style), most importantly Clojure (FP)

- then Emacs

- then i3wm

Each of them "unlocked" something in my head.

Without Emacs I would write slower than I reason, as if I were rate limited
