Common Lisp Implementations in 2023
There was a great comment about LispWorks over on the reddit discussion, linked here[0]. I really need to give it a shot at some point, especially as someone doing CL professionally.
I know that Lisp is popular on HN but that it's mostly a kind of zoo like experience where the proper devs come here to gawk at us but I really cannot recommend it enough for any kind of work. We use it for stock market analysis but almost every piece of code we write is CL. I'm currently trying to convince people to switch over our CSS over to LASS[1].

Common Lisp Implementations in 2023
One should note that while it is true that the last CLISP release was a long time ago and there is not a lot of development going on right now, it's not dead. Bruno Haible just commited last week.
The repository is now at https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp

clisp-head from Roswell now has support for package-local nicknames
Roswell has switched its clisp-head to be built from https://github.com/roswell/clisp/ which is based on the commits from CLISP's canonical repository along with patches which add package-local nicknames to it.

roswell (21.10.14.111-1): clisp-head support
Oh dang, there is new development on clisp! I had to do some digging to find [the repo](https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp), but it looks like the latest commit even adds support for MacOS on ARM.

SICL: A New Common Lisp Implementation
> phoe got package local nicknames into all implementations
Unfortunately it's not yet in Clisp. I submitted a merge request[1] a year ago, but it's been silent since then.

Common lisp or Racket as a first lisp?
Quick note, CLISP is actually an implementation of Common Lisp, and as such isn't used as an abbreviation for Common Lisp the language. Could you expand on what you mean w.r.t to package managers? As far as getting up and running with a CL environment, Portacle makes this pretty easy now.
What are some alternatives?
ql-https - HTTPS support for Quicklisp via curl
deprecated-coalton-prototype - Coalton is (supposed to be) a dialect of ML embedded in Common Lisp.
spinneret - Common Lisp HTML5 generator
trivial-cltl2 - Portable CLtL2
cider - The Clojure Interactive Development Environment that Rocks for Emacs
trivial-package-local-nicknames - Common Lisp PLN compatibility library.
pomegranate - A sane Clojure API for Maven Artifact Resolver + dynamic runtime modification of the classpath
quicklisp-client - Quicklisp client.
conjure - Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)
