> downright dismissive of modern techniques like containers and DevOps practices The last project in CL I made for other people to use (several years ago now) included a Dockerfile people seemed to appreciate it and nobody seemed to dismiss it. > Are there any serious attempts at reworking the Common Lisp standard for more modern problems? There are many extensions for more modern problems either as a library or in individualCL implementations. Where the extensions are highly overlapping, there is a library that unifies the interface (usually named "trivial-FOO"). There are exactly zero paying customers that need to wait for a feature to be in the standard for them to adopt that feature, so there is zero impetus to update the standard.
