The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Moving from the BEAM to Common Lisp: What are my concurrency options?
There are very, very competent concurrency libraries already. I pointed you to them already. They serve as primitives to roll your own solutions -- You can get most of the functionality of Erlang actors (and virtually all of the important parts regarding concurrency) with threading (green or OS), CSP channels, and writing a few macros. Go look at a lot of the actor libraries you mentioned that are "long dead" and you'll notice they do A LOT with just a few hundred lines of code. This one gets basic functionality with just straight threading primitives in 131 lines.

Question about cl-async-await vs actors
As an alternative I was considering actors, f.ex. https://github.com/naveensundarg/Common-Lisp-Actors ,which seems simple enough. But the actor paradigm seems to require that all my code lives in actors. While I could make an actor that receives a message from the websocket listener when a message is incoming, it's a bit of a cumbersome setup compared to the linear looking code above. Since the message coming in will be decoupled from the request asking for the data, so it feels awkward. But maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong.

- Is there any double compare-and-swap (DCAS) library for CL?

Moving from the BEAM to Common Lisp: What are my concurrency options?
David McClain has product level Lisp-Actors, if you use LispWorks.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Common-Lisp-Actors and Lisp-Actors you can also consider the following projects:
cl-gserver - Sento - Actor framework featuring actors and agents for easy access to state and asynchronous operations.
stmx - High performance Transactional Memory for Common Lisp
cl-skip-list - Lockless skip lists for Common Lisp; well, for now sbcl 1.0.42 or higher. Contributions for other Lisps welcome. See the README file for a list of what is required.
