More context, in the later lisp-machines my understanding is that the microcoding of low level commands was actually done in lisp, as lisp, with lisp, even though the microcode itself was not lisp per se.
Lisp also has the low level microcoded bits in it that the high level bits would be made of inside of it https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_ldb.htm . I don't think that other languages are amenable to the interpretation we're talking about in the same way.
