Can you write a working Perl interpreter in Perl?
Can you write an OS in C+Inline ASM?
Can you write a networked D&D game in FIOC?
The answer is no, because you suck at coding.
Can you write a meaningful, coherent text with at least 10 semi-long sentences in lojban?

Can you write a program that recognizes if a girl is legal or jailbait in LISP?

Sure. It's just one d12 roll. If I get it (my agility and intellect is also factored in, wisdom as well if I'm carrying SICP) then I write the Smalltalk. If not, I have to go read my SICP.

Optional parenthesis is optional. The Sussman agreed, don't bother him about it.
The first question is moot because no single person can write a Perl interpreter by himself.
Writing a platform-independent, robust and scalable Perl interpreter requires a synergy-driven world-class team of expert programmers leveraging core skillsets while utilizing agile methodologies to tackle the challenges of changing customer requirements and minimizing the time to market.
