Yes. A detail that I found quite amusing about Roswell was that it segfaults on OpenBSD; the problem could have been altogether avoided by writing it in Lisp. I had to dismiss Lem because it seemed to depend on Roswell and Roswell was not going to cooperate.
The entire point of Common Lisp is to make stuff work across implementations. You shouldn’t need to test five implementations on your development machine. The only time I can see something like Roswell (but not in its current form) being useful is an automated CI tool, but even then it isn’t really necessary.
