emacs is built around LISP. It's only implemented (partially) in C.
True dat.
Some folks should get over it, though. I was born before emacs. I sorta, from a distance, watched the lispers hacking it together.
It's all recursive again.
It's a wonder it doesn't go back in time.
I'd put obfuscated PERL against emacs source code any day of the week. ({If I can buff my parenthetical keys first}/
