GNU already chose Scheme as the language of choice for Guile, which is (intended to be) to GNU as a whole what elisp is for Emacs. So I could see emacs eventually being ported to Scheme. But not CLisp.

If I recall that's already in the works
By using the "CLisp" when you mean "Common Lisp", you make yourself seem not knowledgeable enough to be speaking about the matter at hand.
He did not discuss the language itself, but GNU's choices. So the "matter at hand" seems irrelevant to the correct naming of CL.
Clisp is GNU's Common Lisp implementation.
No, he means CLisp, mr "informed"...
