Hello!
Not sure if it’s news to you but I recently stumbled upon Per Bothner’s
JEmacs, an Emacs implemented in Scheme (GNU Kawa) + Java + Elisp, where
Elisp has been added as a front-end to Kawa (and it can actually run
Elisp code like Towers of Hanoi unmodified, so there may be ideas to
borrow):
http://jemacs.sourceforge.net/
See also this paper written in 2000:
http://jemacs.sourceforge.net/JEmacs-FSM.html
Excerpts:
“My opinion is that Guile is not the best Scheme implementation to
use for Emacs.”
And then: “Using an optimizing compiler that compiles to bytecode is
certainly going to be faster than Guile or Emacs's simple interpreter
[...] However, there are many projects and companies working very hard
on running Java bytecodes fast. [...] Another approach is to use a
traditional ‘ahead-of-time’ compiler (such as the Gcc-based Gcj)”.
:-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
