but that program does exist already and is called Emacs, right?

I'm writing this email in Emacs instance

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (emacs-pid)
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: 275

but external program PicoLisp can use another Emacs instance as
standalone program to execute Emacs Lisp (and thus all of Org-mode's
functionality):

#+BEGIN_SRC picolisp :results pp
 (de emx (Exe . @)
   (in
      (list 'emacs "--no-site-file" "--batch"
         (extract
            '((X)
              (cond
                 ((num? (car (info X)))
                     (pack "--load=" X) )
                 ((= `(char "(") (char X))
                     (pack "--eval=" X) ) ) )
            (rest) ) )
      (eval Exe) ) )

(emx '(read) "(princ (emacs-pid))")
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: 1388

Instead of (princ (emacs-pid)) you could just as well load org-mode and
then call (org-element-parse-buffer ...) or whatever.

PicoLisp is no editor, and there is no editor written in this
language, but assume Java or JS programs can do the same - how would
that help editing Org-mode syntax in editors that are written in that
languages?

Just curious, I would like to find a way to make editing Org syntax
easier for the masses (of non Emacs users).
