You aren't talking about "EMACS".  You're talking about "GNU EMACS".

>programmer. I don't wont to write "what-line" (9 keystrokes).

10 or 11, actually, counting the M-X.

That's always annoyed me about gnumacs as well, but I haven't taken the time
to fix it.  Microemacs, for example, gives you that information with the
buffer-position function, which is bound by default to C-X= (two keystrokes).
I believe that Unipress's does as well.

Actually, with gnumacs, it *is* lisp.  Other implementations have other
extension languages.
