Compiled flavor? Lisp has been compiled since the 1950's. No, there was no C code on Lisp machines. There was some low-level code at the bottom whose capabilities were such that you could accurately call it asm, but it was Lisp too, just a very restricted form. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
