It is easy. We heard many angry programmers going ballistic about (un)maintainability of slop. That's the same, but very much more complex: imagine a large proof that maybe looks correct but it was written by a mentally…
The first language is formative. It gets the programmer to think at a particular level of abstraction. If that level is wrong for the problem at hand, the programmer needs another language. Write, say, a boot loader,…
I am trilingual. All of my languages belong to different language groups; I regularly read and write in both directions. I use all of the three languages every day. I can also bulldoze my way through a text in a fourth…

Did anyone else recall Libbie's Song by Patty Smith? How sad.
I am told there is http://www.ulisp.com/show?2AJI Never used it myself; I cannot attest to the completeness of the implementation.
It depends on the implementation. CLISP compiles when it is told to.
Uhm, Common Lisp, where JIT is not only available but is also manageable: the programmer can decide what deserves to be compiled and what does not. Besides run time, JIT is available also when the code is compiled or…
