Common Lisp is also a very dynamic language, and can be compiled. (Some implementations are completely compiled.) AFAICT, it's just that writing a compiler is hard, and porting it to new systems also takes work, while the interpreter works everywhere. Python will probably get a compiler eventually, but it's not an easy thing. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - I am the rocks.
