It would be more accurate to say that it is GNU's extension language,
which would neatly hide the fact no major GNU project actually uses
Guile.  Or any other major project for that matter.

A single application?!?!?  It's EMACS!  Who on earth would refer to
that as just "a single application"??

Although more seriously, I couldn't cite any references for my
assertion that Emacs Lisp is the most widely used Lisp, so I'm not
sure why I thought that it was.  But it still seems plausible, given
that Lisps are unpopular, but Emacs is not.  I should say QED or
something like that, but I'm sure you'll have counter-examples.
