Your Common Lisp code can also target the JVM runtime by compiling using the ABCL implementation (free, mature). It is ANSI compliant, so your code will work straight away with no change. ABCL also allows easy calling of Java libraries.
Furthermore, not only JVM: other CL compilers let you target the LLVM. And of course you also have native compilers like SBCL which produce blazingly fast code.
