As someone who writes CL for fun, I think all "let's get the core language (any language) API right this time" efforts are ultimately doomed to perdition and entropy. I'd rather have an API that's not quite perfect, but has had much thought and wisdom put into it, and is as stable as continents, than an API that's always iterating towards some unreachable Platonic idea of perfection. As an aside, the author has also created a -- likely more agreeable -- spin off library that's a simpler interface to cl-ppcre: https://github.com/fukamachi/re21 https://github.com/fukamachi/re21
