Indeed. However, one thing we learned from JSP's experience is that,

If we use Kawa in a runtime system, the error reporting has to be
able to do that. I believe many Common Lispers got the same
experience too.
I'd love to have an Eclipse (and/or NetBeans) plug-in for Kawa.
Another project for a volunteer?
Kawa does generate variable names and line numbers, so it is in
principle to debug it using a debugger, but it is probably
difficult, as you have to know how the compiler mangles names,
and represents procedures.
