   I read: "GNU Emacs is written in C and provides Emacs Lisp, also   
   implemented in C, as an extension language."   
      
   Note that not all folks like functional programming in general or   
   specifically programming in Lisp-like languages.   
      
   In decades of using editors I could avoid to extend the powerful   
   basic editor functions by own editor-scripting. I think it's good   
   if the used editor is so powerful that you can avoid scripting;   
   makes it usable in any environment as it comes.
