See for example the ALU (Association of Lisp Users) pages at MIT:
http://www.ai.mit.edu/org/alu/dow96/DOLA/1.SUB11-3.html
This is the paper by Olin Shivers.
There once was also a mailing list about changing the Java VM
to host languages like Lisp and Dylan.
Mail me if you would like to have a pointer.
For those who are interested, what would it take to support mobile
Lisp code on CL-HTTP (a full featured web server written in Common Lisp
by John Mallery from MIT AI Lab and freely available)? Are there people
interested in doing work in this area?
