Re: Guile and Emacs (was Re: Initial projects list)

It's wondeful to hear that someone is working on Emacs!

The idea in Guile is to use Scheme as the "core" language and
translate other languages into Scheme.

Last year, I started work on some extensions to the evaluator to make
it more easily support other languages.  Even though I finally never
got time to complete it, I got it to run elisp code, with proper
dynamic binding.

If you give me a couple of days, I can email you what I've got right
now.
