Interesting enough, the primitive versions of LISP that aren't high-performance (i.e. advanced compilers) could probably be done by hand in hardware where the whole thing was bootstrapped up with LISP-only tech. The LISP would start/stop at the abstract, state machines or RTL of the bootstrapped version.
EDIT: Good luck on making it through the hurricane. Feel for yall out there.
