[comp.emacs] Emacs and Scheme

rms@AI.MIT.EDU (Richard Stallman) (12/02/90)

I think that Emacs Lisp as it is does its job; I don't think that
switching to Scheme would be a great improvement.  It would break
large amounts of code.  Even if it were a large improvement, we could
not spare the effort to write the interpreter or convert the code.
