   ELisp is not a “functional programming” language. And like it or not, Lisp   
   has always been a cutting-edge language, with features not commonly found   
   in more conventional languages.   
      
   Consider that one of the Vim family, Neovim, I think it is, has decided   
   that the traditional Vim extension language isn’t good enough, so it has   
   adopted Lua as an extension language. At least it’s in the right   
   direction, but it still doesn’t have the power of Emacs.   
      
   Where is there an editor to compare with Emacs, with an extension language   
   that is not Lisp, yet is equally powerful? There isn’t one.
