Emacs Lisp. Emacs Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language used as a scripting language by Emacs (a text editor family most commonly associated with GNU Emacs and XEmacs). It is used for implementing most of the editing functionality built into Emacs, the remainder being written in C (as is the Lisp interpreter itself).
One of the most powerful and most respected family of programming languages by computer scientists. Lisp can rewrite itself on the fly, although this potential is rarely exploited. Mainstream Lisp dialects have steep learning curves, so they're rarely used outside of artificial intelligence, space missions, or computer algebra apps, but they are intended to be general purpose. Dude 1: check it out, I just wrote a Google clone in Lisp while waiting for the bus.
