As a long-time passionate Emacs user, I've been curious about Lisp in general and Emacs Lisp in particular for quite some time. Until recently I had not written any Lisp apart from my .emacs.d setup, despite having read both An introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp and The Little Schemer last summer.

This post introduces a mini-plugin, sinon-qunit and shows a few examples of using Sinon.JS with QUnit.
