| Emacs lisp is a bad ancient ugly dialect of lisp.  I'm waiting for the
| day they port the whole thing over to either Scheme or Common Lisp.
| The whole "quote things then eval later" seems much more complicated
| than it has to be.

edwin was a scheme-based Emacs that came with PC-Scheme from Texas
Instruments, I think.

there's work in progress on a GNU Emacs built on Common Lisp, but I
think it's quite dormant just now.

some might try to do something on top of Guile, which I hope they won't.
