Sure, this has been said here several times.
Two problems with this:
. we need volunteer(s) to actually do the work, and the requirements
for their talents are hard to meet; and
. the rewrite needs to keep all or most of Lisp still working, which
is IMNSHO almost impossible, because our Lisp is written for the
current design
I leave the conclusions as an exercise ;-)
