You joke, but an Emacs with framebuffer support and with everything statically build would be Stallman's dream: a next-gen LISP Machine.

Even better - compile Emacs as a kernel module, and run it in ring 0. ELisp would give it memory safety, so memory protection would not even be necessary. System calls have never been so cheap!

Then we could finally live the dream and run Emacs in kernel mode sandboxed inside QEMU.

“Next-gen” is too generous. Such a poor-man’s Lisp machine would be a step back in many ways.
