I'm pretty sure this is wrong.

Rich originally made two other JVM/lisp hybrids, one was running java code inside CL, the other was CL on the JVM. [1]

Clojure originally targeted the JVM and CLR, but AFAIK, one of the main motivators was always to run on a major platform.

He did not made any Lisp/JVM hybrids. More like foreign object interfaces to Java and .net.

One was a Lisp(Works) FFI to Java (jfli) and the other was a generalized version of that (foil).

I have seen too the early sketch of Clojure in CL.

Look here: http://clojure.googlecode.com/svn-history/r454/trunk/src/lis...

Right, I didn't mean to imply that jfli and foil were new languages.

I didn't realize there was a CL version of the compiler, cool! Thanks for the link.
