Not in official GNU Emacs to the best of my knowledge, though I'd be
curious to know whether modules could be a conduit to get to Guile.  I
have not explored the possibility.

There is a write-up at:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

which points to a proof-of-concept, though I believe that development
has effectively paused.  That repo worked for me when I tried it a
couple of years ago on Debian GNU/Linux, though it was comparatively
slow for reasons that have been discussed on this list and elsewhere.
