Yes but the commenter that you replied to was indicating that he would only care if a rewrite was done in Common Lisp so that Common Lisp could replace ELisp.

  I thought the plan was to port emacs lisp to the Guile interpreter and, in the process, make Scheme a first-class citizen for scripting. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

    Doesn't guile have atrocious performance, even compared to elisp?
    • anthk 10y ago
      Au contraire. Guile avoids the locks currently Emacs has.

      Maybe it used to, but Guile 2.0 is quite a bit faster than Emacs Lisp. Guile 2.2 is faster still.
