Does it really matter? I’m not sure. Many people study various
programming languages, yet in the end find themselves using Emacs
Lisp. It’s clear that university isn’t where you’ll learn the secrets
of the craft.

While most folks are just trying to type a simple grocery list, the
Emacs users are out here editing the fabric of reality with a text
editor that’s basically a Swiss Army knife on steroids, powered by
Lisp and the dreams of nerds everywhere!
There's no need to use the powers; just continue making grocery lists.
