Those systems were impressive for their time indeed, but let's not lose sight of our options today; if you want to do systems programming in a memory safe language you can use Rust, and if you want a live coding environment, with embedded objects and a rich REPL, you can use Racket.

I had luck in distant past making type-safe 3GL's in a LISP that extracted to C/C++ with checks on. Really kludgy, though. Still haven't seen one do such things as cleanly as the old systems with high efficiency as well.
