I wonder what experienced Common Lisp compiler devs could accomplish if they turned their attention to Python.

no thanks, julia is a nicer matlab. python is a proper general purpose language.

Julia is not a proper general purpose programming language, because it has one-based array indexing?

There is an implementation of Python in Common Lisp https://clpython.common-lisp.dev/ but I think you probably mean some more lower-level thing

I do: I mean some people with experience making Common Lisp implementations (SBCL, maybe) getting an idea and implementing Python with the same basic concepts they used to implement a Common Lisp compiler.
