You have forgotten Efuns an emacs clone written in ocaml
(http://pauillac.inria.fr/para/cdrom/prog/unix/efuns/eng.htm). 

I don't know if people are requesting or try just for the fun to make
a Java or others languages "Emacs release".
Java, perl and python seems to be a bit too imperative languages for
doing the same thing like lisp do.
"load-library" may be in java "Class.forName()"

I don't think lisp is bad but ocaml could be better. 
Ocaml is a strongly-typed functional programming language and we can
read on efuns home page:
" Advantages of Caml on Lisp are numerous. In particular, static typing gives some security before loqding a module inside the editor"

why not ?

for the moment, I prefer my Gnu emacs and my gnus reader !
