> You can easily write an Elisp compiler in Common Lisp I have no idea how easy it is and I have seen no attempt to do that (running the existing Elisp code without modification on top of a CL runtime). If it would be easy, I'd expect it to be done already. The https://www.cliki.net/CL-Emacs https://www.cliki.net/CL-Emacs page seems to of no help... Do you know of any attempt demonstrating how easy it actually is? > In fact, the original Lisp machine eventually supported Common Lisp as well as the original Lisp Machine Lisp. You could write any individual function in either language, and call from one to the other transparently. That was a major engineering effort - putting both languages side by side onto a single runtime.
