Please stop pushing for the disallowance of topics related to
SBCL and Emacs. It is a non-starter.

Also, please stop pushing for the disencouragement of using
the GNU Emacs Elisp features provided by cl-lib.
Also a non-starter.

One thing that can be discussed is how to get parallelism into
Emacs, to make use of modern CPU multicore architectures.

Emacs is a single-thread Lisp machine written in C, so can't
we have a multi-thread Lisp machine, using the same language?
And not by rewriting the whole thing, rather extending it to
allow for multithreading?

Didn't anyone try to do that already BTW? It feels like
a pretty basic idea and multicore CPUs have been around for
a while.
