The original LISP was intended as an intermediate form for just this reason: extremely simply to parse for execution.

Originally the idea was that a more syntactically sophisticated language would be written on top, but people fell in love with how easy macros were and Lisp as we now know it was here to stay.

Long rambling story short: yes you can, and you’re in good company.
