How to wield emacs
   Important part is the feedback loop, set up a REPL
   Install and configure
     Different install options per OS
       Different exes for MacOS
       `sudo apt` instructions at launchpad
       Executable for Windows (DL, unzip, run bin/runemacs.exe)
     Config it
       Use Higginbotham's files
       Delete the previous config dir and add Higginbotham's config
       Start, let it DL, restart
   Buffers and files
     Default buffer is *scratch*, shown on the bottom left
     Intro to keybinds, open a new buffer
     Minibuffer on the bottom
     Buffers differ from files
     Navigating and opening files 
   Modes and packages
     Emacs is a lisp interpreter
     Emacs binds keybindings to functions 
     Emacs uses the same power of Lisp that Clojure does
     Modes are sets of keybindings to functions that are available for specific files, usually disappearing when you work with other files
     One major mode, multiple minor modes
     Use commands or install customizations from packages manually to get new modes
   Selection and editing
     The point immediately precedes the rectangle; after the previous character
     Efficient point movement
     Selection
     "Copy and paste" with killing/yanking
   Views and errors
     The entire emacs is in a frame
     Can split the frame into multiple windows
   Clojure stuff
     CIDER (`cider-jack-in`)
     Compile and evaluate specific forms
     Compile the whole file 
     REPL navigation
     Clojure docs
     Errors: Switch to the error window and press q
     Paredit
       Balanced parentheses
       Wrap and slurp
       Barf (Put something) outside of the parantheses
       Bounce
