[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.
