Not strictly related, but I've been thinking over a clojure+SWT emacsalike editor for a while now. It just might work.

It's a Heruclean effort but would be great. Imagine the possibilities of having all of Java available in your editor!

[Arelius]

I'd much prefer to have all of elisp in my editor than all of Java. The existing elisp libraries are much better suited for an editing environment than Java.

Just curious: why SWT over Swing? (I've read that Java 6 included some Swing performance improvements.)

Just personal preference, really.
