\begin{quotation}
ECL (ECL for short) uses standard C calling conventions for Lisp
compiled functions, which allows C programs to easily call Lisp
functions and vice versa. No foreign function interface is required:
data can be exchanged between C and Lisp with no need for conversion.
\end{quotation}

How did ECL achieve this?
