Hello,

Thanks for the update! This is very exciting.

I looked at the emacswiki page you linked. It links to a page called
GuileEmacsTodo, but that doesn't seem to be your current to-do list (it was
edited too long ago). Could you say what differences a user would notice
between Guile Emacs and regular Emacs (if any)? Are there any things that
don't work, or any performance regressions?

Best,
Noah Lavine
