There's also lem, which is a Common Lisp based Emacs clone https://github.com/cxxxr/lem https://github.com/cxxxr/lem

  Looks like that project is flirting with porting it to Electron. Too bad, an emacs-like editor in Common Lisp would have been cool but I'd like to be able to run my editor plus some other programs. Not sure I have enough memory for more than two or three Electron apps.

    The standard curses version isn't electron at all, though.

      Yeah but flirting with Electron is a strong indicator that the project is pathological in its decision-making, to me anyways.

        It's more of a statement on the state of Free (as in speech or beer) graphics frameworks in common lisp IMO.

    There's an OpenGL port already.

Edwin is an Emacs in MIT (now GNU) Scheme.

[1] is, as you mention, going nowhere and with good reason (Guile is pretty much a single person project at this point and no heavy hitter from the emacs-devel community is interested in it). [2] is also going nowhere since again no Emacs core developer is interested in it and to top it off, they’re well on the path to creating something even more complicated and harder to understand than Emacs’s C core. These are _good_ developments since GNU Emacs is progressing rapidly on its own merits.
