I would recommend to ignore Roswell and just install SBCL or CCL from your package manager. For a quick Emacs setup with good defaults, use Spacemacs with the common-lisp layer.
If you have never used Emacs I would just ask the LispWorks guys for an evaluation license. It's the closest thing to experiencing one of those Lisp environments of the 80s (Emacs doesn't come close). You'll be impressed.

- mark_l_watson 7y agoI agree. Also, even though I usually favor using Emacs, VSCode with the common-lisp plugin is easy to install for beginners, so newbies should probably start there.
