Well, for one thing, doing it in lisp would be reinventing the wheel, as 
emacs has been around for ages.

One main advantage that I see to ruby is that one could modify existing 
code and add new code much more easily if the modifier doesn't have a 
lisp background.  lisp code is horribly unreadable.

If you do want to use a functional language Haskell is a much better 
choice, and would in fact be interesting in this context.
