You can implement a programming language in assembly. C is an example. This
has the advantage of being able to leave your language and use assembly
when necessary. You drop down to assembly for speed.

You can also implement a programming language in lisp. CLPython is an
example. This has the advantage of being able to leave your language and
use lisp when necessary. You drop down to lisp for expressiveness.

If lisp is the ultimate language, does this not make it the best option for
implementing other languages?
