I assumed his comment was a reference to the old "joke":

The comment presumably made because emacs is extended with LISP.

But Vim is written in C, Vimscript being just a bolt on, whereas Emacs LISP is its own language entirely, a distinct variant of LISP, and much of Emacs implemented in it.
I don't even know why you're bring Vim into the discussion when it has nothing to do with the topic being discussed. It doesn't invalidate the statement I made; I just makes your reply look a little snobby because you seem concerned that someone might compare Emacs and Emacs Lisp to Vim and Vim Script (I clearly wasn't given the complete lack of reference to Vim in my post).
To be honest I thought we had gotten past those tedious flamewars in the 90s.
