SBCL is de-facto most popular implementation of Common Lisp, if I dare say. It is free, it is well maintained, it is easily available, and it is fast. As a student/enthusiast, it doesn't get much better.
Lispworks/Allegro is better if specialized requirements or actual money is on the table. Lispworks supports mobile platforms IIRC which SBCL does not, for ex. But if all one needs is server side deployments or personal projects, there is no need, nor any use of commercial implementations, as good as they might be.
- pjmlp 4y agoBasically like GCC with VI, or using Clion or Visual Studio kind of difference.

- xhevahir 4y agoThe last I heard CCL still didn't support Apple's new range of processors, which sounds bad for its future.
- _ph_ 4y agoOne has to stress: SBCL is probably by far the best Lisp compiler out there. So it is not only free, but also good. Might require a few type annotations to get the best performance though. And the diagnostic messages can sometimes be annoying, but they are right :)
