Also notice on a different branch of the thread, where rms says, "Guile is the direction we should go, if at all possible." It sounds to me like Guile, at least as Emacs' elisp implementation, is one way Emacs could go, a way it should go, and the way rms says it should go; all that suggests strongly that it is the way it will go.

Guile is an old GNU project (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/History.html https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/History....), it languished for a long time but recent developments have really pushed it forward.

  > Guile is an old GNU project, it languished for a long time but recent developments have really pushed it forward. A bit like Emacs then ;) (it seems much more active around v24 onwards)

    Once rms stepped down as a maintainer development around GNU Emacs seemed to have significantly improved. It is amazing to see the progress. Although the 24.4 release keeps waiting.

rms also said emacs should incorporate word processing features too. ...what about that part?

Yup, but RMS doesn't maintain Emacs anymore, Stefan Monnier does. And he is not fond of Guile. So it's loaded for mailing list drama. Note though that RMS is still very much active in Emacs development even if he stepped down as the head a few years ago.
