Oh, I forgot to mention that one of the cool features of Macintosh Common Lisp was its interactive assembler. You could write "LAP" ("Lisp Assembly Program") code in the repl, just like you could write Lisp code.
Around the time that MacFrames morphed into SK8, Apple hired an arcade-game programmer named Dave Vronay to work on the SK8 graphics subsystem. When I first met him, he was over the moon about MCL and how great it was to write assembly code in a repl and run it right now.
