There are going to be people who want to embed all kinds of languages
into emacs, the relevant questions should be what framework that best
allows that, while remaining maintainable. Subprocesses, loadable
modules, "one big executable", and corba have been mentioned. I good
start would be to mention pros and contras for these, or comming up
with alternatives.
Of all of these, loadable modules appeals to me most. My original
plan with Perlmacs was to add a dynamic loader to Emacs and make the
Perl interpreter loadable on demand. It's just that I never got
around to it, and then I discovered the nice things about having a
perl-compatible binary for things like #!/usr/bin/perlmacs.
