Chapter 12.2, Guideline 1: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1... Program names should be between 2 and 9 characters; As a thing to consider. Also, searching for `e` may be weird.

What is meant to be the selling point over Emacs? Apart from scheme>elisp?

Arguably 80% of the emacs goodness is the terabytes of elisp written in the last few decades, if you break compatibility with that you need to throw in something pretty compelling.
