I wouldn't bet.  With emacs, you don't have a choice, you need to use
emacs lisp to customize it (even if theorically you could do it with
emacs-cl or some other language implementation written in emacs lisp).

On the other hand, AutoCAD allow people to customize it using other
programming languages than AutoLisp, so I wouldn't expect it to be
majoritary.
