Re: Where comes the myth that Lisp is interpreted?!

After pointing out during a lecture that Mathematica was very much
like Lisp, I asked if it may be programmed in any Lisp dialect.

Short answer: "Oh, I don't know, but for sure it's not Lisp, for
performance reasons that would not be possible."

I am reminded of this message:

It looks like the Mathematica bias against Lisp goes back to the
beginning.
