This would be awesome, and I think this is the path the emacs
developers should take -- separating emacs into two, the GUI and the
core elisp interpreter. I'm sure this wouldn't be easy, but imagine
having emacs both as an IDE and also as a full-fledged elisp
interpreter/compiler and framework, not necessarily tied to the editor
itself, but with a framework suitable to build other kind of
IDEs/editors if needed (extracted from all those years of emacsen!).

This would allow things such as org to become more of a platform with
a server and a client. The default client would be emacs, but one
could for example run org on a server and build a web layer above it,
communicating with org using CLI/http/dbus/whatever or if one is brave
enough, write the whole thing in elisp (the web part too).

I think this would be akin to what the Eclipse platform is currently.

Food for thought...

Marcelo.
