The Guile-Emacs Project

The Guile-Emacs project seeks to develop new foundations for Emacs, building on forty years of development to prepare the way for the next forty. Guile-Emacs brings Emacs and Guile together by providing a new Elisp implementation based on Guile's compiler technology, serving as the basis for a more expressive and extensible version of Elisp. We envision Guile and Emacs being co-developed in a sort of mutualism, with Emacs becoming the heart of a "Lisp machine for the 21st century" and with Guile fulfilling the promised role of Lisp from the GNU Manifesto.

Guile-Emacs development is currently paused for want of free time.
