...which means that the party is over: anything that I cannot permanently compile into straight machine code and generate a binary executable will have a double performance penalty: once to process the bytecode, and once to just-in-time compile it. Why would anyone in their right might settle for that? Please wait - compiling the planet... that's insane. It's far better to stick with one of ANSI common Lisps and get incremental, instantaneous compilation to straight machine code for any expression which evaluates.
