Re:Using Guile for Emacs

I don't think there is any plan to replace or even supplement ELisp with Guile Scheme. Guile is a language, but it is also a compiler and runtime. The later two have been intentionally designed such that different language front ends can be written to use them. The plan here is to use a new Elisp front end for the Guile compiler and runtime to replace Emacs' custom Elisp interpreter. Extensions and internal implementations will still be written in Elisp.

Wasn’t someone porting Emacs to run on Common Lisp? Or was just the C part of Emacs and building an eLisp on top of CL?
