You can always open a bug at bugzilla [1] to ask for this new package |

and track its development in case it occurs one day. |

For example, when emerging a package, if an error occures, the whole process will die since the merge of the current atom. However, if emerge was written in Common Lisp, it could be possible to interactively debug the error and continue the process, which, overall, means more user control of what's happening and better hotfixes, thanks to the fact that REPL is part of the language. |
