I think if there is a direction to go in, it's to make a SSH-friendly and
truly extensible text version of DrRacket. I would use this all day; I
only really use vim because it's terminal friendly and the editing is
great.
DrRacket offers a lot in terms of integration with Racket facilities and I
would rather have a text version of that than more Emacs/vim.

Is there interest in creating a Gnu Emacs Lisp Racket Language, along with

such a project?
For some years there has been an attempt to port Gnu Emacs to run under
Guile Scheme. A big stumbling block is the vast amount of extensions
written in Emacs Lisp and continuing development thereof. Racket seems to
be a *much* better platform for such a project than Guile, don't you
think?
_Greg (a long-time ambivalent Emacs user tired of Emacs Lisp)
I don't think elisp makes much sense out of Emacs. There is nothing special
about it as a programming language: it's Lisp (and not Scheme) and depends on
"primitives" of a text editor "frame work" from the 80s. Porting individual
modes or features to Dr Racket (or even Viper/VSI) might give better results
then reimplementing the intrinsics of the overall Emacs package. But that
depends on the expectations and intentions of the programming users.
