RMS hates Common Lisp because it's a bit bloated (tons) and the closes to GNU Emacs written in CL it's Lem and it feels far slower than Emacs.

Ironically, the GNU system now needs hundreds of megabytes of installation just to compile C.

Bloated? Sure. But slower than emacs? Strong disagreement here.

I find Lem a lot snappier than emacs.
