What a sad idea.

Seriosuly, is that hard to learn Emacs Lisp? Even if one is using Go or Rust (etc) at work, any programmer worth his salt should at least already be familiar with Lisp syntax.

It is one of the easiest languages to learn!!

I love Emacs Lisp.

Emacs has really good support for it which continues to improve over time.

But.. I love more than one language (and more than one Lisp for sure). Will you try to persuade me that I am wrong in that regard?

Emacs only having elispallows me to fix the third party code that I have in my config, and simplifies all the things. Thoemacs already has C too now, there is module support. I guess it could be possible to use Rust via that interface too, and maybe go. But better keep these to a minimum because elisp is one of the things that makes emacs great
