+   - Emacs Lisp as a dialect of Lisp shares its philosophical qualities. I often think about what Norvig wrote about Lisp back in the day, e.g. <https://www.norvig.com/lisp_talk_final.htm>, and while there are some people who feel strongly that Lisp's time is passed, I think that Emacs shows that it is the opposite: that we haven't fully taken advantage of Lisp's potential. Another example would be what Rick Hickey has done with Clojure, and recommend his talk Are We There Yet, <https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hickey_Rich/AreWeThereYet.md>.
