    py4cl and cl4py rely on uiop:launch-program and python's subprocess respectively. These are portable to the extent uiop and subprocess are portable and do not require any additional installation.

    If you want to use Python libs from CL, see py4cl: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl the other way around, calling your efficient CL library from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/ There might be more CL libraries than you think! https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl (or at least a project sufficiently advanced on your field to join forces ;) )

    FYI you can call Python from CL: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl and CL from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/

    If you don't know Emacs, see other editors: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... If you want the more Smalltalk-like experience I'd go with the free LispWorks version: it has many GUI panes that allow to watch and discover the state of the program.

    I personally couldn't stay long with Hylang. You won't get CL niceties: more language features, performance, standalone binaries, interactive debugger (all the niceties of an image-based development)…

    If I may be so bold as to recommend my in-progress Bel implementation: https://github.com/masak/bel

    Caveat: I'm still working towards being able to recommend Bel _unconditionally_, not just for small programs. Right now you'll experience unreasonable slowness, terse/uninformative error messages, and missing documentation -- probably in that order. All of those are being addressed. But already today, it's fun to play with.
