LISP based kernel

LISP is a very nice language IMO.I recently thought whether anyone could create a kernel in LISP.Maybe we can write a LISP compiler which compiles LISP to machine code,and then write a LISP barebones based on that LISP compiler.In that compiler we could allow for assembler-based routines to be called from LISP.Maybe we can also create a separate LISP dialect intended for kernel development.Whats your opinion on it?

See Genera and other Lisp machine operating systems.
