Seems there is an alternative history where Stallman went with APL and not lisp:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)#GNU...

> (...) Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU Project, was an early adopter of APL, using it to write a text editor as a high school student in the summer of 1969.

And:

  Rho, rho, rho of X
  Always equals 1
  Rho is dimension, rho rho rank.
  APL is fun!

    Richard M. Stallman, 1969

But:

> GNU APL was written and is being maintained by Jürgen Sauermann.

and I believe it's fairly young when compared to emacs/emacs lisp.
