A Consistent Structural Editing Interface - karthinks.com
The current state of things is pretty underwhelming and convoluted. In 2018 I designed a system on top of thingatpt that was not married to any parser (can use regexps or use tree-sitter or anything else to build things) or to any editing style (modal vs. non-modal). I'll probably never complete it due to a lack of time/interest, but it still seems to me that what's needed is something like this, a library in the middle that could be used for any package like this. Not sure why no one else seems to see how good thingatpt could be.

The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
I've planned to use treesitter in things.el for a long time, but another package will likely become useful long before I have time to do this.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
I've designed my own text object/motion system that I hope will eventually bring more "useful" composability to any Emacs user that wants it (see things), but right the implementation is buggy and incomplete.

interested in emacs as a whole, but have no idea what it can really do
https://emacsrocks.com has lots of quick/digestable demos. This one is a favourite https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html (the ending is great, stick with it).

Packages that make Emacs Lisp more pleasant
We will mainly look at 3 packages: s.el, f.el and dash.el. Two of these packages (first and last) are maintained by Magnar Sveen, who are also known for Emacs Rocks and What The .emacs.d (which are still great resources for learning and finding inspiration for your Emacs configuration!). We will also look at ht.el. These packages are used a lot in many of the Emacs packages you use in a day to day basis, like lsp-mode and rustic just to name a few. As most of these already have tons of examples in their READMEs, my main goal of this article is to inspire you to check them out. Hopefully you will know of one new package after reading this article :)
