emacs recoded in guile

I heard there was a project to convert emacs code from emacs lisp to guile. I think the project has stalled but I think this should be made a priority by FSF to go through with this because emacs lisp is an antiquated dialect of lisp that lacks lexical scoping. If emacs was coded in guile I think that would attract a lot of people to emacs as it would be a lot better to do configuration scripting in a popular lisp dialect rather than have to learn a dialect that you will never use for anything else. In fact people might start learning emacs just to be able to use guile. I think guile is moderately fast so it might be possible to replace the small amount of C code in emacs and make it a pure lisp app

please tell me why guile sucks
I have had bad experiences with guile, its a pain in the ass to debug.

I agree with the rest tough.
But to be honest most of these are not very usefull in practice and dangerous. Redesigning a such large programm such as emacs is very risky.
Also emacs runs just fine the way i see it and elisp is not really good, but neither is it bad.
