Why not just use Emacs for simple scripts and text manipulation? Way easier, lots of one liners as well, just as expressive.

  Too big and slow. Also I disagree with the expressiveness, (emacs-has-chosen-a-very-longwinded 'way (to (express things))) that would be shorter in languages with more syntax.

  Many of us do precisely this. Emacs is like a visual perl.
