I think one of the strength of Emacs, that has allowed it to grow that much compared to Vim, is that it has always had one official extension language. It doesn't have any external dependencies. If Emacs developers endorsed extending Emacs with other languages, users would have started using other languages libraries, which could have caused issues in portability and set up.
