This is entirely inaccurate and a fundamental misunderstanding of Lisp, both as a language and as an ecosystem. Have you seen [0], for example? It's how to leverage the native assembler of a Common Lisp compiler to build a small JIT-like compiler in Common Lisp.

Did you know Lisp has a disassembled built-in, with the standard library function DISASSEMBLE [1]?

Why would Lisp support these things like "native compilation" are supposedly out of scope?
