I tried to reply to your original message with commnets on POPLOG and
the BALM system at Utah, but these where systems without an
interpreter. In my opinion a system such as you describe would not be
LISP as it loses all the advantages of program development.
Having said that I have an experimental system which compiles LISP
into C, and that is linked with a fixed library. The target is a
fixed languages rather than a LISP system. Is that what you mean?
Another possible interpretation: we wrote a LISp system which was
constructed by compiling LISP into ALGOL-60, the final thing looking
like LISP, but with no compiler.
