I wouldn't want to start a "language war" or anything, but
seriously does anyone know of any production (as opposed
to experimental or prototype) compiler written in lisp?
(besides lisp itself, of course)

I recall a posting by Paul Dietz suggesting that gcc should
be re-written in lisp. (perhaps he was not entirely serious ;)
