I wish it were built with a very small, minimal core, that was just the TUI with the lisp machine like functionality, scriptable using R7RS scheme instead of elisp. And then everything else is built on top in a more modular fashion, with "battery packs" that install many modular components into one higher level functionality, like an IDE.

I'd like to eventually write something like this, there are a lot of things it would enable that you just can't do with emacs. It would be an emacs killer if implemented well, but it would also open up a whole new set of possibilities.

I don't know how far I'd get just working on it on my free time, which is competing for time with other projects. I'm looking for funding for these sorts of projects. If anyone reading this is an investor and interested in funding this sort of thing, please reach out.
