Pure Lisp? Or a Lisp/C/Asm combo? Lisp has a compiled flavor by the way.
Compiled flavor? Lisp has been compiled since the 1950's.
:-) I was being sarcastic.
No, there was no C code on Lisp machines. There was some low-level
code at the bottom whose capabilities were such that you could
accurately call it asm, but it was Lisp too, just a very restricted
form.
Fair enough. But of course, there is doubt that the OP would require a
compilable version of Python capable of similarly restricted forms, and
as far I know, none such version exists. ;-)
