Emacs is mostly written in Emacs Lisp.  C is used only for the core.
Encapsulation, namespaces and modularity are not really an issue there
as it is a closed and confined working set.

They are an issue in Elisp.  So if you are worried about
maintainability, rewriting Elisp into a more maintainable language would
be by far more effective.
