I am not sure honestly that the language emacs lisp is lacking so much. But I am not an expert. AFAIK the guile thing was done at a point where there was no native compilation for #EmacsLisp , which we now have thanks to #libgcc. The feeling of the 90s, I don't know, I like the style of #emacs personally but if you want something mor# flashy maybe take a look at #DoomEmacs or #SpaceMacs, of course it won't be vscode but well. There are projects also like #CliMacs but well..
