I found PDF SAM basic ("split and merge") well done: https://pdfsam.org/en/pdfsam-basic/ . That one is open-source and multi-platform, they have more features in a paying superset project.

It's great but some chosen libraries are a bit too random or early. You can look at a curated list of Common Lisp libraries here: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl/

For CL hash-tables I can recommend serapeum's dict: (dict :a 1 :b 2) (it's an 'equal HT) With toggle-pretty-print-hash-table it will pretty-print its content, readably.

It's a Common Lisp program for end users and I can literally use it in 3 clicks, thanks to its AppImage (for Linux x86-64). Good (and rare) stuff! It's also impressive to see that the audio decoding is mostly done in CL, without b

Common Lisp can compete with Python no problem, that's what matters to me. You get: - truly interactive development (never wait for something to restart, resume bugs from any stack frame after you fixed them), - self-contained binaries
