Is there any lisp compiler generating exec files?

[Jae-youn Chung]

It would be very nice if it can be compiled to, at least, bytecode
so that it can run very quickly in the command line oriented
environment so that it can be used other generic unix commands like
sed, awk and so on.

Is there any compiler capable of these?

since the Lisp system is likely to maintain useful state information and
would need to load this every time, I think a better solution would be to
set up the Lisp system to accept connections on a socket bound to a port
only on the local machine (127.0.0.1), require the caller to send the
contents of some file that only approved users can read for simple
authentication purposes, and go into a simple read-eval-print loop.

this would give you the benefit of fast loading (the client program can
easily be written in C), and evaluation inside a large Lisp system tha
can service a number of users and requests.
