Would it be possible to implement Elisp on top of the JVM? I mean in a way, so Emacs can use it instead of its own VM in a backward compatible way, while at the same time allowing programming Emacs in other JVM languages.
- buzzkillington 6y agoTrivially, but there's enough C code in places you wouldn't expect that you would never get Emacs running doing just that.
- dmortin 6y agoI meant that the C code in emacs stays as is. And if it calls to the elisp part then those calls should be replaced of course with calls to the JVM via JNI.
