Good comments. Quicklisp has certainly helped.
A few years ago, after Common Lisp being my favorite language since around 1982, I thought that I might switch for my personal projects to Racket Scheme since it does have good library support. What holds me back is that I have found plentiful work opportunities over the last several decades with Common Lisp, but except for getting paid by Springer-Verlag to write a Scheme book, I have never been paid to use Scheme.
Also, to be really honest, so much of my work in the last ten years has involved deep learning, that I have somewhat reluctantly learned to love Python for writing short programs.
