What is another word for lisp compiler?
Pronunciation: [lˈɪsp kəmpˈa͡ɪlə] (IPA) 
A Lisp compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in the Lisp programming language into machine code. Synonyms for Lisp compiler include Lisp translator, Lisp interpreter, Lisp processor, and Lisp assembler. While each of these terms has a slightly different connotation, they all refer to programs that transform Lisp code into executable programs or libraries. Some Lisp interpreters are able to execute Lisp code directly, without the need for compilation. Other Lisp compilers, however, require source code to be pre-processed before it can be executed. Regardless of the exact approach, Lisp compilers are critical tools for developing robust, scalable software systems using the Lisp programming language.
