Completely agree

Also add to this the trend or rise language servers .. emacs can continue to be used as a solid ide alternatives

And .. guile emacs hopefully one day

Any work to improve and re-use emacs is good for everyone

I'm hoping for a Common Lisp emacs, myself. Scheme as specified just isn't a big enough language, and if you pick one of the better implementations (e.g. Racket, which is awesome), then it's not really Scheme anymore (e.g. Racket, which is really its own language by now).

I would still call it Scheme, just not R*RS Scheme.
