  31     Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
  32     language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
  33     install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
  34     than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
  35     language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
  36     programming language.
  37
  38     Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
  39     features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
  40     files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
  41     closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
  42     are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
  43     and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.
  44
  45     This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
  46     chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
  47     many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
  48     are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
