<div><font class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">ABCL is a Common Lisp implementation implemented in Java and running on the JVM, featuring both an interpreter and a compiler. The compiler targets the JVM directly meaning that its output is runnable JVM bytecode. The fact that ABCL is written in Java allows for relatively easy embedding in larger applications. For integration with existing applications ABCL implements Java Specification Request (JSR) 223: Java scripting API.</font></div>
