This looks really cool, but I didn’t manage to get sbcl to find quicklisp on Guix (though it should be easy …), so I’m abstaining from the vote.

You and twenty other people! I did have the thought that McCLIM ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCLIM implementation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp_Interface_Manager ) really wants for BSD ports / linux packages, because my
basically npm install but lisp
gives the wrong impression about what it and lisp are I think.
Packages would likely be good, yes.
But about the impression: the jam nicely shows the breadth of lisp – including the point that people can adjust their environment to be just what they need (but that it’s then sometimes hard to go back to preparing that from scratch).
Making that easier to build from scratch would still be great!
From my perspective, the jam was 20 entries, from the forum post:
1/4
Lua with the flexibility of a lisp syntax and macro system.
1/4 clojure
1/4 The host guile scheme
1/4 chicken scheme + misc e.g. kawa scheme
Which I guess is a founder-effected version of wikipedia’s explanation of lisp given the small number of entries:
Today, the best-known general-purpose Lisp dialects are Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, and Clojure.
I guess having a sense of incommensurability is on brand for lisp.
