I have been using Emacs for a while now and really like its extensibility.
I have also written and read my share of Teco code, but still do not feel
comfortable with it.  I have heard of Lisp based Emacs, but I'm not sure
that Lisp is much less obscure that Teco.  The point of this all is that I
may be writing an editor for an IBM 4341 and am considering making the
extension language something Pascal-like.  I thinking about making the top
level a Pascal interpreter with the obvious extensions to make editing
possible.  I.e. add real string types and/or buffer types, etc.  Does
something like this exist somewhere?  Are there any Emacs-like editors with
a reasonable extension language?   Am I in weeds or does this sound like
a reasonable idea?

[Editor's note:  presumably, the Pascal-like dialect would also include
dynamic binding of procedures to procedure names/incocations.   JQJ]
