Guile being faster at running Elisp doesn't necessarily mean that Emacs + Guile is faster than Emacs. Is that why the project stalled out?

I think it was issues improving startup performance + largely that it was a one man show.

It doesn’t take much to terminally derail an effort driven by only a single contributor.
