In general, the problem is that Emacs does not have an FFI (mostly due to "philosophical" nonsense? see discussion [1] and SXEmacs [2]). Even Vim has a (somewhat primitive) FFI [3].

If the Guile-Emacs project is successful, GNU Guile will be the VM in which Elisp and Scheme code is run. This means that Emacs will finally gain such features as an FFI.
