Apparently, this project failed to raise its funding, but it's not
entirely suprising, because the number of people who want to embed
an emacs-like interface into their program is probably not very
high.

The number of Emacs users is certainly much higher, so a fundraising for
an actual Emacs feature would have more chance to succeed.

Several people added ideas to the EmacsWiki crowdfunding page,
so developers who consider working in this model should take a look:
