R to common lisp translator

I think we can make an exception here. There are areas in finance where
one would like to use R but the performance of its interpreted execution
is too poor. I too would be interested to know if anyone on this list
has had success with R/CL translation, especially in the context of
computing on big time series. Anyone?

R

Andres,

Can you explain the connection between your question and finance?

With a question such as this, you may have better luck using the general
R-help 
mailing list.

The paper by Ross Ihaka and Duncan Temple Lang titled "Back to the
Future: Lisp as a Base for a Statistical Computing System" discusses
building a new foundation for R on top of Common Lisp, but I don't know
if any work is being done in this direction. The idea is to leverage the
progress that has been made in the Common Lisp community while
maintaining much of the syntax and convenience of R.

But as has been pointed out in this thread, if most of the work is
already being done in C, then this will not help much.
