Last I checked, ECL binaries are around ~10-20 MiB (including the shared file) and the price of having these binary sizes is start-up time which is around 500-1000ms.

BTW, since you program professionally in CL, do you use Emacs? Doom or custom?

To be clear, unfortunately I do not program professionaly in CL. I use vim + vim-slime (jpalardy) + GNU screen + rlwrap. dotfiles here[1], here[2] and here[3].

Blog post about this will be written subsequently at https://blog.djha.skin .

Very cool! Thanks for sharing the dots!

I'm a vim user too, but recently I've been considering Common Lisp mainly due to this post: https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/

so I did a brief tour on Emacs (cause everyone uses sly) but both Emacs and CL take too much time so I've postponed them.

Would be nice if you describe your vim+cl workflow and how does it hold up to Emacs+Sly+Org-mode ™
