I kind of doubt this. Lisp is such a small language (at least the
version that's included in Emacs is) that it's a breeze to learn.
Then the problem with writing extensions comes from learning all
those library functions that Emacs has.
The overhead of also learning Lisp when you want to extend Emacs is
just too small to justify such a great effort on the part of the
Emacs developers.
That said, there are Perlmacs and Pymacs, I think. And Richard wants
Emacs to use Guile as the extension language, and Guile supports
writing your programs in a variety of syntaxes.

You can already interface Emacs with Python, and you can already patch
Emacs such that it dynamically loads libraries (ie. C or C++)... It's
just that these things are not very popular, or we'd see much more of
that. IMHO only, of course.

Using .NET(Mono, since cross platform is a goal) for interpretation and byte
compilation, letting the user pick and choose which language to use for configuration
and programming add-ons and modes.
It would be great IMHO to be able to write .emacs in Python, Perl, C, or C++,
as well as create extensions in those languages.
Does this idea sound interesting?
