- How would support for other languages be?

Why? What for?


So that us users of LispOS won't have to rewrite
all the worlds software. I'd very much like to
retain the ability to call code that was written
in other languages; I see no benefit to being
mutually exclusive.

The benefit would be guarantees about that code never ever possibly
crashing or corrupting in certain ways, since some classses of buggy
failures are impossible on the Lisp Machine.
