Emacs is GUI desktop software. Few people use it in a terminal.
Also, people didn't born knowing Javascript. They learnt it. And one could argue that Lisp is just as easy to learn, if not easier.

Aside from that -- lisp or javascript as the extension language, I'd love to see a brand-new extensible editor like emacs just to have a shot at changing terminology and some of the APIs. Emacs terminology is a little off-putting because it was invented before the GUIs were widely adopted so it doesn't map that well. I also find some of the APIs a bit weird, but that could just be me.

Plus, Emacs is a ghost town anyway. You're going to run into the problem that there are not bodies willing to use the editor, let alone extend it.
Myself included (:
Just about everyone here knows javascript. Almost know one here knows Lisp, make your own conclusions.
nor English it seems :)
"No one is born knowing JS" or "No one was born..."
There are languages where "to be born" is one verb and it makes it reasonable to make the mistake and think that in english it would be the same: "to born".
Btw, English isn't my first language either, so please do not see this as "arrogant English speaker wants everyone to speak his language". In fact, my mother tongue is far far different from english (we dont even have a common script!)
