A bit more hacking, and Blodwen is now writing Scheme programs, so I don't have to. I'm looking forward to finding out how efficient this isn't.https://twitter.com/edwinbrady/status/1020027247175045121 …
I resisted because I imagined it would be slow. It turns out it often is (I tried a couple), unless the lisp in question is Chez Scheme :). Especially if you turn off the dynamic checks.

Common Lisp implementations like sbcl are also known to be fast. I think the closest thing to what you’re talking about is the language Mark Tarver specifies as a target for Shen.
