Guile Scheme Emacs-Lisp Compatibility Matures 46
In a posting to the Guile developers list
today, it was announced that the Emacs-Lisp
compiler for Guile has matured enough to run actual elisp
programs. The author included a screencast demoing
the new compiler running the Dunnet
dungeon crawler. It is still a bit hackish: you need a load file that fakes a few Emacs side functions. In theory, most batch mode programs that don't do buffer manipulation should now work. After a few previous attempts, things could be on track for GNU Emacs 25 based on Guile.
Glad to see this on Slashdot! (Score:4, Funny)
This is the kind of article I'm always glad to see on Slashdot; emacs is cool, Lisp is cool, an article on something that's genuinely hardcore nerdy is always good to see! With the Linux on 8-bit micro article also posted today it feels like the nerd coefficient is running high today! Good!

But don't let that discourage you too much, lisp might be worth learning in any case.
