Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Elisp generally considered to be a rather poor dialect of Lisp? At the very least, there seems to be a desire in at least part of the Emacs community (i.e. the one place where Elisp is actually used) to replace it with Guile, which I can only assume is due to it being a superior language.

Regardless, though, I don't think what any one language calls something is going to go very far in convincing me. As for the Rust ad hominem, I've been specifically arguing against the terminology that Rust uses (i.e. all lambdas are called closures, and nothing is called lambdas) that is much more consistent to your viewpoint than mine, so I don't really see what point you're trying to make there, other than that you're as prejudiced against Rust as I am against Elisp. But that's fine though; people are free to like whichever languages they like, but I don't really think it's worth taking it personally when others disagree.

Elisp is not to be replaced with Guile. That's a myth.
