Re: Emacs Lisp's future

[Philippe Vaucher]

Is there even a reason to try evolving Elisp into something else? Instead, you can cherry-pick the features you want. With cl-lib you get almost CL. With dash.el you get your "new cool lisp". And so on.

The big benefit I see is being able to replace the lisp engine with a more standard one, and thus benefit from performance enhancements / bugfixes / etc from the other engine.
