What? Sure, you can program them with javascript, but that's not required (just popular). There are libraries for clojure (clj-drone), ruby (argus or artoo), and I'm sure other languages.

I think you can now configure it to run in "holy mode". In both modes you can still type meta-x (also via `<space>:`). I think if you had a very customized emacs setup, you'd have to put some effort organizing it into c
