Re:Why is Common Lisp not the most popular programming langu... by vindarel on Thursday February 15, 2024 @06:23AM (#39381428)
For package management, we have:

- Quicklisp, which is pretty handy, since we can install and use a library from the Lisp REPL, without restarting anything.

- Qlot, that installs dependencies locally, and allows to pin them (yeah you can't do that with QL, although cloning a lib and using it is easy).

- ocicl, a new package manager from the world of containers

- CLPM, another new one

- Roswell, if you really really want to install libraries from the terminal (although Qlot does it) or to install implementations, or software.

I bet the ecosystem is bigger than many think: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl and anyone would be amazed by its stability.
