Hi GNU Emacs Team,
I wonder if the GNU Emacs Team had thought of replacing the ELisp scripting language with that from newLisp. I took a look at newLisp documentation and must say its very easy. Anyway, I didn't run the newLisp installer as Windows Defender blocked the download from executing. The only place where I will run newLisp code is "newLisp in a browser."
Regards,
Andrew Goh S M

Hardly.

But it won't include facilities for manipulating editing things like
buffers. It would take a lot of work to replicate these in newLisp.
Also, there's around 1.7 million lines of Emacs Lisp code in the Emacs
core. That's a lot of code to have to convert.

Well, there's another reason. You'd likely have less trouble running on
GNU/Linux.

It is very unlikely that we will rewrite Emacs in newLisp.
I'm therefore closing this bug.
Best regards,
