The Emacsen family, the design of an Emacs and the importance of Lisp (2023)
Two projects that may be of interest, related to this topic:
- Rune (https://github.com/CeleritasCelery/rune) - A re-implementation of Emacs but in Rust (like Remacs, but actively developed)
- Pimacs (https://github.com/federicotdn/pimacs) - Same, but using Go (created by me, but developed in a very slow pace)

Pimacs: a toy implementation of an Elisp interpreter in Go
I've also documented a lot of the design decisions I made when developing it, alongside with some stuff about Emacs itself: see here. This information may also be useful for you if you're trying to understand how Emacs works internally (at C-code level).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing lispy and pimacs you can also consider the following projects:
