Abstract
We examine the integration of Lisp and C in a commercial application, with a view towards the "proper place" of each language in large, practical applications in general. Topics addressed include portability, flexibility, efficiency, compactness, and user base of the two languages. We outline the pivotal role of Lisp-to-C translation tools in integration efforts. An attempt is made to dispel some half-truths about Lisp and inflated claims about C promulgated by interested parties.
