Sorry, I should have given more details when mentioning BBN Lisp.

These investigations have already been done in the 1970s.

There were several operating systems built at Xerox PARC, in
Smalltalk and in INTERLISP, for various kinds of hardware (including
PCs with Intel microprocessors=C2=B9). There was the ZetaLisp based serie=
s
of operating system originating out of MIT. Takashi Chikayama=C2=B2
implemented micro-controller Lisp systems on Intel processors starting
in 1976.=C2=B3

Since that work in the 1970s, the only unsolved problem for using
dynamic languages in systems programming has been designing a hard
real-time garbage collector, and that has been solved in 2003 at
IBM.=E2=81=B4
