>Beware: Lisp is essentially an interpreter, even when it's compiled.

So?  I'd call this a real plus.  Machines are a lot faster than they
used to be and I look forward to the day when we remove the
compilation step again.  I think programmer optimization costs more
than run time optimization, obviouslt, so now it's just a matter of
waiting until machines are fast enough that the users can live with
the response time as well.
