Common Lisp compiles to much more than just 'native'. Like C, LLVM, DLLs, ... and a has a bunch of exotic stuff like whole-program-to-C compilers, Common Lisp on the metal or Common Lisp on top of Prolog https://github.com/TeamSPoon/wam_common_lisp . Common Lisp also has full language interpreters: these are implementations of Common Lisp which interpret s-expression level code - not byte code. Common Lisp can easily…
