Several years ago there was a project over at one of the German
universities to write a Common Lisp to C Compiler (CLiCC).
there are several (more or less compliant) Common Lisp implementations
that can compile to C.
there's also a Common Lisp package that implements Emacs Lisp in
Common Lisp (mostly through macrology).
the main problem being, of course, that you'd have to somehow fit the
backend to the current Emacs runtime.
