- Actually, LISP interpreters are amazingly easy to write;
- as compared to some other languages.

- BTW, to those involved in the programming language debate: have you
- ever considered the fact that LISP is an interpreted language most of
- the time? In fact, if you want to put it rigourously, it is possible
- to claim that it is impossible to write a LISP compiler.
