No, I don't think anyone's working on this. It is also very unclear if it is really worth the effort (for a good overview see https://lwn.net/Articles/615235/ https://lwn.net/Articles/615235/ from Stefan Monnier, Emacs' ex-maintainer). For speeding up Emacs Lisp, I think the current work done by Andrea Corallo using libgccjit is more promising. Another big boost would probably be to replace the current regex engine with something better.
- agumonkey 7y agothanks for the news, and yeah considering the amount of time emacs extension spend re-searching faster regexes would probably translate to big speed increases
- khc 7y agoThe objection seems to be that guile supports more than just elisp. Surely if emacs switch to guile it can disable other languages?
