Not sure who you're talking to exactly here :-) As one of the XEmacs maintainers (Jerry's also around these days), I can tell you that (at least part of) the review board already discussed those ideas quite often. I know of at least one other maintainer who would strongly disagree with me and Jerry, as he would be on the pro-scheme side. That may not be enough for preventing the change to happen, if it ever becomes more than just a pie-in-the-sky thought. We are in fact, I think, a majority of pro-CL maintainers. > Also, XEmacs project looks a bit stale now, at least looking at the > commit logs. The project is less active than before, yes (I for one have much less time to devote to it than I used to). But it's not completely stale. Most of the activity is currently devoted to moving to the GPL v3, which is a showstopper for many other things including syncing stuff from GNU Emacs. On the other hand one other guy is doing a lot of work to make our ELisp more common-lisp like and I've been developing a CLOS implementation for XEmacs. This is also an indication that there *is* interest in going towards CL. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.
