Extending Racket with new languages

Nicely done tutorial on how Racket can be used to write new languages, with a syntax that significantly differs from S-expressions. Apparently, it's super easy.

C compilers tend to be better at optimizing C, at least on x86.
It depends on hints, compiler has. Lisp System, for example, can gather run-time statistics and optimize hot-spots just-in-time -- sadly an unused opportunity.

>Compiling C to Lisp made sense on Lisp Machines as the underlying platform was build on Lisp from the ground up
It would made sense doing the same to get rid of CFFI dependencies.
