Matlab to Lisp converter?

I am just wondering if someone has attempted such a crazy thing? I do
not mean converting all of matlab functions, just enough of its
language to keep matlisp kernel busy numbercrunching using existing
matlab codebase while higher level interfaces are written in more lispy
way...

I've looked at f2c code, learned something for myself, but most of it
seems to be there to deal with random fortran weirdness (common blocks,
etc.) -- I have a feeling that starting from scratch might be easier.

Any ideas/suggestion?
