LASS VS tungsten

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].

But no one is stopping you from building a "full modern standard library". I am doing just that with https://github.com/galdor/tungsten. Of course it would be nice to have a large company do all the work as it is the case for Go, but it is not going to happen. As always, you either do the work yourself or pay someone to do it.

The specification is limited, no doubt about that, but I am convinced that any modernization effort would end up in a huge mess with everyone trying to inject their own preferences from the languages they already know with no regard for the spirit of the original specification.
