Scheme is good base. Anyway Emacs Lisp does share more with Common
Lisp than with Scheme. I heard rumours and even found one Emacs which
can be scripted in Guile. I have waited for it more than 3 years now
and nothing really matirialzed so IMHO it's varpoware at it worst. If
you don't believe me check out:

Another really different thing is dynamic scoping in Emacs Lisp, this
is why I would prefer either Scheme or Common Lisp...
Another thing which I found over time is that large packages are not
written from Programmers very familiar with Lisps, that makes code
look a bit strange on Lispers eyes sometimes. There are too
counterexamples e.g eli (for using Franz Common Lisp with Emacs as
IDE). What I won't understand is why you have to use (require 'cl) to
get a more complete Lisp....
Regards
Friedrich

Let's suppose I am a SCHEME guru (I'm not, really). How far I am from
learning Emacs Lisp?
Thanks.
