Not exactly.  It has been sold as such, I'll admit that, but there's
nothing in emacs that makes the process data type less fundamental than
the buffer data type in emacs.  Or any other data type, used by one of
the innumerous applications written in emacs lisp.

The editor is just one such application, but it has nothing special.

Well, yes, code, compile, debug, recycle.  When you program in lisp (or
one of the newer programming languages so much inspired by lisp it's a
shame), you don't do that.
