Did anybody had recently any luck using SBCL with GTK4 using sb-alien?
Wow, you asked and you got a nice answer. Cool. https://github.com/bohonghuang/cl-gtk4/issues/4

GTK4 Bindings for Common Lisp
This is neat, but the ergonomics of using the GTK4 library (especially now) does not lend itself well to being 'lisp-ified'. Just take a look at the web browser code[0], which is surprisingly short but incredibly obtuse. It's already hard enough writing GTK interfaces in expressive languages like Rust and Go, seeing it for Lisp makes me wonder who the target audience is...
That being said, we have been promised something of a redesign for GTK 4.4, I think. If they fix the weird builder/closure pattern for building UIs, I think they'll be back on track to being treated as a "real" GUI tooklit again.

[cl-gtk4] Writing beautiful GUI with Common Lisp and GTK4
The wrapper-related code is in this repository: cl-gobject-introspection-wrapper. It just converts the GIR functions, constants and enumerations into LISP-style definitions, and the FFI invocation is handled by cl-gobject-introspection.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cl-gtk4 and cl-gobject-introspection-wrapper you can also consider the following projects:
parrot - A cross-platform Common Lisp editor
swank-client - A Swank client implemented in JavaScript
iup - Common Lisp CFFI bindings to the IUP Portable User Interface library (pre-ALPHA)
clog - CLOG - The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI
