Also, Common Lisp's standard library cannot compare to Python, Java etc. They have a lot of language manipulation tools but not actually anything that will help you ship quickly if you are building generic CRUD style applications. CL tends to shine when it comes to extremely domain specific niche stuff where you practically have to write your own tooling from scratch.

Roswell comes to mind for application building and distro management. Add in ningle for web app building and woo for the server (the benchmarks are really good), and you're basically good to go. I think the main problem is there's too many implementations of the same thing in CL, so devs basically have to agree on a very specific subset of tools for every project, which adds a fair bit of overhead. https://roswell.github.io/ https://roswell.github.io/ https://github.com/fukamachi/woo https://github.com/fukamachi/woo https://github.com/fukamachi/ningle https://github.com/fukamachi/ningle p.s.

  Last I tried it's not reliable. E.g. generating binaries through VM images is coin toss.
