Actually have one more question if you don't mind - I've done a fair amount of both lisp and embedded (vxworks or baremetal). I've been tempted to push lisp or scheme as a prototyping environment for higher level (i.e., UI or some other non-RT) code. I've always had some amount trepidation due to GC pauses, and memory exhaustion. Are there any papers on the actual lisp ports? Are there any gotchas?

> Are there any papers on the actual lisp ports? No. The flight Lisp was just a commercial product: LispWorks. You can probably get detailed info from them. We also used CLisp and (what is now) Clozure Common Lisp for development. > Are there any gotchas? From Lisp? No, not really. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to port the code from one Lisp to another. That part mostly Just Worked.
