[$] Using Guile for Emacs

Emacs is, famously, aneditor-perhaps far more-that is extensible using its ownvariant of the Lisp programming language, EmacsLisp (or Elisp). This year'sedition of EmacsConf, which is an annual "gathering" that has been heldonline for the past five years, had two separate talks on using a differentvariant of Lisp, Guile,for Emacs. Both projects would preserve Elisp compatibility, which is amust, but they would use Guile differently. The first talk we will coverwas given by Robin Templeton, who described the relaunch of the Guile-Emacs project, which would replacethe Elisp in Emacs with a compiler using Guile. A subsequent article will lookat the other talk, which is about an Emacs clone writtenusing Guile.
