I'm especially interested now because of a thread on emacs-devel - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-09/msg00753.html. People were talking about adding multithreading to Emacs. Some people said that moving Emacs to Guile might be the best solution, but others were pessimistic about that ever happening. It looks like the Emacs people would really like to use Guile, and we would certainly like them to. Also, every time Emacs implements a feature that Guile already has, it's wasted effort when we eventually integrate them. It seems like Emacs-Guile integration is a project that is on the verge of happening, and just needs some sort of push to get it over the hump. I hope that this summer's SoC work can be the impetus.
