Plugin creation, where to start?

I noticed some plugins written in cpp etc. I have some experience with writing in cpp. Now I would like to write lisp routines which we do in AutoCAD to do lots of tedious things quickly. That is ultimately what Im looking for to increase productivity with Libre cad. And Ideas, please.

Welcome AlfLibreCad210!

You can't compare LibreCAD plugins with AutoCAD Lisp!

The LibreCAD plugins interface is very rudimentary compared to AutoCAD's Lisp scripting engine.
With LibreCAD plugins you can just modify the current drawing, no access to the GUI or anything else.

You can take a look at my recent post as a starting point.

There is no explicit documentation, have a look at the existing plugins to get an idea what's possible.
