I did and it's one of my favorite implementations actually!

Unfortunately I get this weird vibe with many Common Lisp libraries that they feel... legacy and deprecated. For sure CL isn't super popular language and it is very stable, but minimal development dynamic makes me feel insecure about the solution.

Imho, that vibe is great once you get use to it. I think the programming community expects more updates when it simply isnt required.

It sounds similar to Clojure libs. It might be an Illusion. Maybe those libs are done, zero to minimal need for further development! Our perception is shaped by regular bugfixes in other languages
