The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Common Lisp polymorphic stories.
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?

Adding new types and operators to Lisp
If performance is a concern, then you would want to stick to CLHS provided simple-array and create appropriate types using deftype, and then dispatch on the types either by yourself, or by using something like polymorphic-functions and polymorph.maths.

defgeneric and &rest
If you want to dispatch on vectors, you can try out polymorphic-functions which was made for the express purpose of dispatching on specialized arrays aka types rather than classes.

numericals - Performance of NumPy with the goodness of Common Lisp
Since the past year or two, I have been working on numericals that aims to provide the speed of NumPy with the goodness of Common Lisp. In particular, this includes the use of dynamic variables, restarts, and compiler-notes wherever appropriate. It uses CLTL2 API (and may be slightly more) under the hood to provide AOT dispatch, but nothing stops you from combining it with JAOT dispatch provided by numcl/specialized-function. This also spawned a number of projects most notably polymorphic-functions to dispatch on types instead of classes and extensible-compound-types that allows one to define user defined compound types (beyond just the type-aliases enabled by deftype. Fortunately enough, interoperation between magicl, numcl and numericals/dense-numericals actually looks plausible!

polymorphic-functions - Possibly AOT dispatch on argument types with support for optional and keyword argument dispatch
What I am calling parametric polymorphism is this test:
What are some alternatives?
When comparing lisp-interface-library and polymorphic-functions you can also consider the following projects:
ccl - Clozure Common Lisp
fast-generic-functions - Seal your generic functions for an extra boost in performance.
cl-parametric-types - (BETA) C++-style templates for Common Lisp
generic-cl - Generic function interface to standard Common Lisp functions
ctype - CL type system implementation
sealable-metaobjects - A CLOSsy way to trade genericity for performance.
numericals - CFFI enabled SIMD powered simple-math numerical operations on arrays for Common Lisp [still experimental]
cffi - The Common Foreign Function Interface
polymorph.maths - Maths for polymorph.stl
