It is a steep learning curve to master Emacs lisp, there are mainly two issues in it from my experience the lisp syntax and functional programming the fragmented methods and libraries For the 1st issue, it is easy to master the syntax after writing several programs and getting used to them, but for the 2nd one, one needs to take notes or remember something.
