With the bikeshedding we see for much less controversial changes in the Emacs codebase, I suspect it will be released around the release of Duke Nukem forever II. Elisp code runs fine under guile, but it has seen virtually no optimisation work and does a lot of unnecessary work. I suspect there is an lot of low hanging fruit, but since there is virtually no interest in guile-emacs apart from in comments on HN and Reddit I doubt the situation will get much better. The guile VM is getting better and better though. Maybe they'll come around by guile 4 :)

I've always thought someone should use guile to add support for elisp plugins to vim & neovim using their rpc interfaces. Then maybe if something like that existed the org-mode authors could be convinced to cleanly separate out the emacs-specific code, and we could have org-mode on vim using the same codebase as emacs. I have no idea how viable that is, but it would be pretty sweet. Too much for me to take on right now, but the idea has been rattling around my brain for a few years.
