This is extremely cool. There have been a few other Emacs webserver implementations, but none showing this much promise/active development. I'm really excited to see where this goes!

I can't wait to see this progress when emacs gets lexical scope and threading. Having a lisp machine as an asynchronous web server is amazing.

emacs already has lexical scope.

that's how you turn it on. you need a fairly recent version.

My bitbucket repo is here https://bitbucket.org/nic/emacs

but of course, the official bzr repo is good as well

Yep, this can already be done using Scheme (Racket or Guile) and Geiser.

But it's still very cool to have that in Emacs Lisp. And it will be "natively" here when Emacs Lisp is replaced by Guile 8-).
