Have you heard of FFIs? Foreign function interfaces? You can call ANY OS system call from Lisp, and for user-mode shared libraries you can just load them and call their functions just as easily.

- Retric 17y agoYes. Look for some applications your code needs to be as fast as possible. When your company is writing the software and spending 50million / year on HW taking a slight speed hit to use your favorite tool is not always an option. PS: Consider how much money Honda spends on processing power for their engines and how much a 5% speed hit would cost them to fix by buying better HW.
