One tip I got back in the day (mid-90's), regarding compilers vs interpreters.
Make the compiler output some kind of bytecode in a format, which can be easily interpreted, or with the help of a Macro Assembler, very quickly transformed into machine code.
It won't win performance prices, however it is quite easy to get going.
Naturally fitting these ideas into Lisp like languages is quite straightforward.

Thanks for the book tip.
