Do you have a purpose in mind for doing this?  There are
incompatibilities between Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp, but you'll need
to discuss that on the emacs developers newsgroups (I am not a Lisp
lawyer ;-).  Also, if you develop some tools in Emacs Lisp, then it
is likely that they will try to take advantage of Emacs display which
is not going to be in the Common Lisp (Scheme, Java, ...)
environment.

What are your goals?
