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).

(Yet Another) Lisp in Go

Why would you do that when the other measurements included startup/shutdown?

Cincom Smalltalk, VisualWorks® 8.3 run with `time` from a terminal window command line, like the other measurements.

A Faster Lexer in Go
I used some of this work for a Lisp I wrote[1] in Go -- it was really helpful, though it took a little work[2] to adapt it in a reusable way from the talk and from the Go template code. I also recommend studying the code and watching the helpful and clear video - an elegant approach to an old problem.
