Not that I have anything against Lisp, but an emacs-ish text editor with Lua as an extension language would be really cool. I know the Zile project tried something like that, but I have no clue how far they have gotten. Also, there is a huge body of code written in elisp that has been around for ages and got properly debugged along the way. Replacing that is not a very realistic task.

I tried guile-emacs last year, and back then it even ran org.

I doubt it will happen though, since more trivial and much less intrusive changes to Emacs get bikeshedded into oblivion.

Ah, but we still can dream, can't we? ;-)
