i was lucky enough to have had a shell account on the GNU gnu.ai.mit.edu servers back in the 90s and found elisp inspiration from poking around in the $HOMEs of GNU hackers/legends like roland mcgrath and noah friedman and of course rms. i nearly wrote a book back about emacs then with a uni lecturer but he resigned/was fired in some kind of scandal and well, that was that.
amazingly i still have that shell account, though its of course moved a few times and has been for a while a gnu.org box.
i learned a lot about bash and how to structure things properly from ~roland's init scripts.
hah! just ssh'd in to fencepost.gnu.org and all his init scripts are still there[1]!
