    Second, cl-cffi-gtk is incompatible with the latest cffi because cl-cffi-gtk has a typo in one of its types. https://github.com/crategus/cl-cffi-gtk/issues/102 was filed a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure the project is still active. https://github.com/cffi/cffi/issues/346#issuecomment-1320005306 is related. Can anyone commit to this repo to fix it, or communicate with someone who can?

    Lets say I want to play around with cl-cffi-gtk. Step 1 seems obvious, just ros install cl-cffi-gtk. I can the just run the repl arbitrarily and use (ql:quickload 'cl-cffi-gtk) to load it up, this makes sense to me.

    According to the GTK page there are some GTK bindings for Scheme. Also, as long as I know there are some GTK bindings for CommonLisp but I'm not sure how good they are. Also if I'm not wrong, there's a Lisp dialect called Hy embedded in python so you could use the GTK bindings for Python in that language.
