Subject: Discussion of Lisp implementations?
A lot of the traffic on this newsgroup centers around ANSI Common
Lisp, that is, interpreting the language specification, or how to go
about using the language.  Would it be on-topic to ask questions about
how Common Lisp could be implemented?  I'm currently looking into
writing a Lisp front-end to GCC, and I'm getting to the point where
I'd like to ask questions about How Things Are Done.  If this isn't an
appropriate forum for such a discussion, can you suggest something
where talk of implementing a Lisp run-time and compiler from scratch
would be on-topic?  (Perhaps comp.compilers is more appropriate, but I
think I'm looking for something more specific.)

(I believe it was Craig Burley who pointed out the fact that GCC
doesn't currently support any functional programming languages.  I
find that interesting, considering RMS's background.)
