# Emacs Lisp A [[LISP]] dialect used to program the [[Emacs]] editor. I collect a list of projects to build so that I can learn the language: - [[PROJ - Emacs Lisp Ideas]] ## Modern libraries for [[Emacs Lisp]] These all come from [[Xenodium]]: - [Modern Emacs lisp libraries](https://xenodium.com/modern-elisp-libraries/) and - [Toby 'qubit' Cubitt - computing, code, emacs](https://www.dr-qubit.org/tags/computing-code-emacs.html) - [map.el](https://nicolas.petton.fr/ressources/emacsconf2015/) for key/values, alists, hash-tables and arrays (built-in as of Emacs 25.1). - [seq.el](https://nicolas.petton.fr/ressources/emacsconf2015/) for sequence manipulation functions (built-in as of Emacs 25.1). - [subr-x.el](https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs-lisp/subr-x.el) has a handful of string functions (built-in as of Emacs 24.4). - [let-alist.el](https://endlessparentheses.com/new-on-elpa-and-in-emacs-25-1-let-alist.html) wonderful syntax for alists, great for json (built-in as of Emacs 25.1). Thirdparty libraries: - [s.el](https://github.com/magnars/s.el#functions) string manipulation. - [f.el](https://github.com/rejeep/f.el) file/path handling. - [dash.el](https://github.com/magnars/dash.el#functions) for lists. - [ht.el](https://github.com/Wilfred/ht.el) for hashtables. - [ts.el](https://github.com/alphapapa/ts.el) for date and time. Some more: - [rtree.el](https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/rtree.el) binary tree that stores ranges (Built-in). - [ov.el](https://github.com/emacsorphanage/ov) simple way to manipulate overlay. - Toby Cubitt's [libraries](http://www.dr-qubit.org/tags/computing-code-emacs.html) (heap, overlays, queue, avl-tree, trie, dict-tree, etc). - [shadchen.el](https://github.com/VincentToups/shadchen-el) pattern-matching. - [m-buffer.el](https://phillord.github.io/m-buffer-el) buffers. - [esxml.el](https://github.com/tali713/esxml) xml and html. - [a.el](https://github.com/plexus/a.el) associative structures. - [asoc.el](https://github.com/troyp/asoc.el) association list library. - [yk-color.el](https://github.com/yurikhan/yk-color) linear RGB color manipulation.
