"Erzats" PicoLisp runs anywhere Java runs, that was it's original reason for existance - to be used in bootstrapping the compilation of PicoLisp, IIRC. However, nowadays, I think Erzats PicoLisp, AKA the Java version of PicoLisp, gots too little love. It's an interesting way of accessing the JVM, just like Groovy or Clojure. Also, I don't have benchmarks, but PicoLisp is pretty damn fast owing to minimal datastructures and I would expect that to spill over into the Java implementation. http://picolisp.com/wiki/?NeedForSpeed http://picolisp.com/wiki/?NeedForSpeed http://picolisp.com/wiki/?ErsatzReflection http://picolisp.com/wiki/?ErsatzReflection
