This is really, really cool for packaging apps up for distribution to non-lisp nerds. Requiring people to install Quicklisp to load an app isn't the end of the world but still a chore for people who don't live in a REPL. I'm really happy with how much progress Common Lisp has made since I started programming in it (around 4-5 years now I think). Implementations have all kind of agreed on the lowest common denominator of essential non-standard features: FFI, threading, sockets, etc. It's still kind of a fringe language, but as a user, I am happy it's making so much progress. Thanks for the work on Quicklisp, Zach =].
