An insane idea: run this on top of CLPython on top of ABCL on top of the JVM.

  Yeah and let's get it to compile down to XML!

    I wouldn't even go there. I worked on an ecommerce project in the early 00's which compiled a high level turing complete DSL (not that far from LISP TBH) to XML and then used a virtual machine written in Java to run the XML. I've never seen a language in which the compiler output was 2 orders of magnitude larger than the source code. I really don't know how anyone came to the conclusion that any of that was a good idea. I still have nightmares about that.

      >I've never seen a language in which the compiler output was 2 orders of magnitude larger than the source code. Ever used SWIG, or qt designer, or anything else that compiles to a source code format? (heck, I can only assume most of those languages-that-compile-to-javascript must be similar) (not that that makes your project any less bad)
