For this sort of thing, I'd be tempted to just use lisp, not emacs
lisp. There are numerous lisp implementations which will allow you to
do this sort of thing.
The thing about elisp is that its got lots of things which are useful
when dealing with text, buffers, displays characters etc. However, its
not as good as a general lisp if you want ot do more general stuff.
