....part this is because languages often lend themselves to one paradigm or the other. For example, languages like LISP and Smalltalk have traditionally been interpreted while those like C and Pascal are usually compiled. However, neither paradigm is inviolate. Compilers exist for many LISP variants [8] and interpreters exist for both C and Pascal [4] Interpretation is often used for fields such as rapid prototyping, due to the interactive nature of development and the quick response to change. Compilation is generally used for production level applications due to the performance advantage of ....

....This book is also available in HTML on the Internet [33] 6 The literature on this subject is scattered and fragmentary. There are a few papers on the specific topic of tagging and data representation [16, 30] More information can be found in papers that describe particular Lisp implementations [4, 7, 6, 8, 15, 14, 21, 35, 38], and in the description of Lisp systems evaluated by Richard Gabriel [12] In addition, at least one system, Allegro Common Lisp, uses the address alignment trap available on most hardware to catch common type errors with no overhead at all. 4 0 Gamma1 1 Gamma2 2 Delta Delta Delta ....
