Is there a good high-level description of SBCL internals somewhere?
4:13:36
johnnymacs
if you count lisp as high-level then yes

though I imagine some of the pieces of sbcl are optimized directly into various assembleys

You could make a Lisp program into its own high-level description through clever use of macros, but I don't think SBCL does that.
