Byte Compiled Lisp

• Emacs functions/macros are written in Lisp

• Found using your load-path variable

• Lisp files have a “.el” extension

• Short for “Emacs Lisp”

• To improve performance, you can byte compile “.el” files

• Byte compiled files have a “.elc” extension

• Emacs will use a “.elc” before a “.el”
