     Ooh, and ofc I named my Mother's cat Emacs! He's a purring machine, a God of love, and very cute.

     Fediverse played a part too - all cool people I followed here were using emacs/writing lisps. Other places that Devs hangout at don't know what they are missing out on. I was literally laughed at in a session at BarCamp, Bangalore for suggesting org as an effective tool.

     Pandemic necessitated that I have a light workstation that could be replicated remotely (I got stuck without my laptop in a different city). Moved to nvim for my scala codebase at that time. Vim to emacs happened cuz #orgmode and as I kept looking for tools to be nimble. Guix was a natural next step!

     Hey! Are you excited about any of #scheme, #guile, #racket, #lisp, #emacs, #guix: express that excitement here! And how did you get excited and into it? Let's have a little fediverse party!

     And if you aren't into any of these things YET I will make three suggestions (because you will be!):
