A SPAD extractor should be feasible but it may take some time to set up the
necessary infrastructure to compile a plugin. E.g. see

https://github.com/coq/coq/tree/trunk/plugins/extraction

There is a recent post @ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12183095
about Coq2Rust where I saw some nice ideas:

There's more about it if you use the search field (bottom) at
https://news.ycombinator.com/news.

Still there are a lot of Lisp dependencies, e.g. integer.spad

zero? x == ZEROP(x)$Lisp
--      one? x == ONEP(x)$Lisp
        one? x == x = 1
        0 == 0$Lisp
        1 == 1$Lisp
        base() == 2$Lisp

which will it make necessary to start defining a bunch of axioms/parameters.
Coq certainly is the right tool for such a venture, however, I recently cloned
'pvslib' which uses SRI's PVS and I was surprised how close it is
(syntactically) to SPAD. i guess it would be my second choice.
