i vote for paul graham to take the torch and replace elisp with arc
on a more serious note, my main problem with elisp was that why would i spend any time at all learning a non-general purpose language (and elisp is not sql)
learning a language really is a big investement of time and effort, why waste it on elisp
scite uses lua, but at least lua can be used in many other different places,
it really goes against lisp minimalist approach for doing things
what i liked most about lisp, is that, you learn few basics, with which you can build anything!
so you focus more on doing, and less on learning
kinda the opposite of perl where you spend too much time learning the language
so elisp is just excess baggage!
elisp is a bit more attractive than vimscript for example, but still a lot less attractive than ...lua
