Gnu Emacs New Leader: John Wiegley
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-11/msg00120.html
Wiegley as maintainer was discussed in the gnu emacs dev mailing list for the past couple of months, hundreds of messages.
John Wiegley is the author of eshell[see Emacs: eshell], a compiler engineer for like 20 years coding in C++, and is now a professional haskell programer. He lives in emacs.
Here's a couple of video interviews of John. John Wiegley on Emacs Lisp and Haskell
John is a extreme emacs enthusiast, and his primary platform is Mac with strong desire to make emacs better on Mac too out of the box, and he is a very capable programer, and also a sociable person. I think John will bring a lot good things to emacs. Thanks John.
