    * CLOS being bolted on instead of truly integrated in the language; would need a JIT and something like https://github.com/marcoheisig/fast-generic-functions on system classes to go fast enough, Julia kinda does this (but it hurts my eyes)

    About static typing and generic functions, are there limitations to fast-generic-functions built over sealable-metaobjects too? I felt that reasonable, albeit it takes away the dynamic nature of the objects after sealing.

    What are your thoughts on the Lisp Interface Library? I recognize that it doesn't cover some of your use cases since LIL is designed in a dynamic manner and does not provide the sort of compile-time type shenanigans that coalton can. Just from the standpoint of providing parametric polymorphism though, dynamic or not, what do you think of it?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing fast-generic-functions and lisp-interface-library you can also consider the following projects:

ctype - CL type system implementation

ccl - Clozure Common Lisp

polymorphic-functions - A function type to dispatch on types instead of classes with partial support for dispatching on optional and keyword argument types.

generic-cl - Generic function interface to standard Common Lisp functions

sealable-metaobjects - A CLOSsy way to trade genericity for performance.

polymorph.maths - Maths for polymorph.stl

abstract-arrays - A structure and some facilities for an abstract-array structure in common lisp

cl-form-types - Library for determining the types of Common Lisp forms based on information stored in the environment.

coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
