Lisps are compiled, generally. It's just that you can add new compiled functions to a running image, and replace existing compiled functions. The running time of compiled Common Lisp can approach that of compiled C code, and sometimes be better.

The dividing line between compiled and interpreted languages has become permeable these days anyway. Perhaps the better dividing line is between languages that are designed to compile to efficient code, vs. languages whose design precludes that. In some cases this may just mean we need smarter compilers. And this is where I really like this kind of language fuzzing: it's a great way to test compilers, and can be extremely helpful at firming up implementations of complicated optimizations.
