I'm not key on learning any new languages, I really want to up my Emacs Lisp, Ruby, and Javascript (in that order)

I'd like to revisit my Ruby for sure, I feel very out-of-touch with that ecosystem lately! Lisp is so useful in multiple contexts (gaming and graphics package scripting)... I've always been a vi person over emacs (different discussion, I know, I know!!) so I never got into it in that context.

I tried vim but the modal editing made my brain hurt. Emacs felt right (and I learned about evil-mode, so even vi folks have a home in Emacs)
