Since nobody saw fit to post an XEmacs April Fool's Day joke, I'll do
what any good XEmacs programmer does when he perceives a missing
feature: sync from GNU Emacs.  :-)

After more than 30 years I think it's time to rewrite emacs from scratch.

I would be happy to hear your suggestions about the best language to use.

At the moment I think that Perl would be the best fit, because of its acronym:
