To wit, Scheme is a lisp dialect and it's both BEEN used as the scripting
language of EDWIN as distributed with MIT Scheme, AND the lisp engine of emacs
is mutating towards Scheme.
Given how small/tiny a Scheme interpreter CAN be -- check out the dialect used
in GIMP -- I can't imagine a picolisp interpreter smaller; and Lua seems both
tiny and increasingly popular as a language embedded in apps, games, and even
TI calculators.
If one wants the syntactic sugar of Picolisp at the cost of being less tiny
then by all means HAVE AT IT.
Personally I see EDWIN, GNU Emacs, and GUILE becoming more interoperable as the
future unfolds.
Cheers!
