It was not my intention to start a language war. I should have made
clear that my point was:
1. I don't see the point of re-writing working code just to replace a
language (scheme in this case) and end up with the same estructure of
c++/<the-new-language-here>. I'd see the benefit of rewriting the
whole thing to get rid of c++, having only one (high-level) language
in the end.
2. The main reason I mentioned Common Lisp was because it would be much
easier to convert a code from scheme to CL than to haskell, for
instance. And I do believe that CL would be more apropriate and
faster to be used as the only language than scheme
of course I think that CL is good for other reasons, but I shall not
mention here because I don't want to start a war :-)

I respectfully disagree, Emacs is an example of a program who uses a
lisp dialect (not scheme) and has a *huge* amount of contribution. Even
from people who have nothing to do with lisp (e.g. java programers).
