Did anyone else recall Libbie's Song by Patty Smith? How sad.

I am told there is http://www.ulisp.com/show?2AJI Never used it myself; I cannot attest to the completeness of the implementation.

It depends on the implementation. CLISP compiles when it is told to.

Uhm, Common Lisp, where JIT is not only available but is also manageable: the programmer can decide what deserves to be compiled and what does not.

Besides run time, JIT is available also when the code is compiled or loaded for execution (i.e., do you have a compilation or loading speed-up in mind? no problem, you can also compile that speed-up into native machine code, and so ad infinitum...).
