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

same reason that most all embedded languages are simple, it makes things easier to extend and build on. the basic rule of any API is to make functionality as simple as possible because its very easy to add complexity whereas its almost impossible to take away complexity....case in point being emacs, simple restructuring will not suffice, but rather a redesign by someone who understands emacs and what major changes have to be made while keeping as much of the original functionality as possible
