I am sure you all have noted that the MCL Swank Client is a step  
towards integrating the OpenMCL/ClozureCL compiler into the MCL  
IDE... It's becoming like having two LISP environments in one,  
bringing OpenMCL back home!

The MCL Swank Client is already a proof of concept of an application  
with the user interface provided in MCL and part of the non-interface  
programming ("business logic") running in an integrated ClozureCL  
environment.

Imagine MCL running on Intel under Rosetta, integrating an Intel- 
native ClozureCL environment. That would give us the best of two  
worlds and a smooth transition path for MCL and MCL applications to  
run on Intel.
