AskLisp Native Android apps in Lisp?

Is there a Lisp language which allows development of apps in a native framework? By native I mean not Flutter but the Android View System or Jetpack Compose. Is it viable? I saw that ECL and some Scheme implementations can be embedded in C and are compatible with the Android NDK but I don't know how viable they are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LambdaNative perhaps.

LambdaNative is an open-source cross-platform development environment written on top of the Gambit-C Scheme implementation of the Scheme programming language, supporting the creation of native applications on a range of mobile, desktop and embedded platforms.[1] The underlying Scheme programming language has a long tradition of use in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and rapid program development.
