One very important benefit for users if Guile is implemented is that it
is the official extension language for GNU. A single extension
language would benefit not just Emacs users, but all GNU users.
IMO, one of the biggest weaknesses of the GNU system is the hodge-podge
of extension languages and config-file formats. Other systems are no
better of course, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a worthwhile goal
for GNU. And if Emacs started using it, I belive it would give more
momentum for Guile.
