Re:Sorry, Lisp. I tried.

Why? So you have access to the Python libraries from Lisp? That would probably be better accomplished by writing a layer that used the Python/C API to fbnd the functions into Lisp, rather than compiling the whole program to run on the (slow) python interpreter.

No, I just was thinking in some Lisp implementation that didn't require to install the JVM, but that could use the bytecode of a lighter language, like Python. Also because I suppose if a Lisp implementation is generating code for a specific platform, its documentation will refer to such platform, and I'd prefer to read about Python bytecode than about JVM.
But maybe I'm wrong and it's just useless prejudice of my part.
