Set a file's execute bit?
On MacOS, I am struggling to perform the equivalent of chmod +x in Common Lisp. Practical Common Lisp and the Cookbook both point to osicat, but that library doesn't quickload in SBCL on my M1 Mac:

Is there a portable gethostinfo or gethostbyname, without using ffi?
If you mean strictly without FFI, then probably Shinmera's recommendation. If you mean portable, then osicat is worth looking at. Sadly, it's unmaintained now, but may work, and could use a maintainer.

Is it worth learning Common Lisp for writing tools and solving practical problems if I already know Emacs Lisp?
OTOH, there is FFI-based osicat that packs it; from the https://github.com/osicat/osicat/commits/master it does seem stable.

I've wrote some toy modes for Emacs, as much as I love Elisp, there is nothing compared to Common Lisp for me yet. Slime is overkill. I don't know if you're aware but there is a Elisp REPL in Emacs M-x ielm. Something you could go for, is to write things using Elisp, and then interface it using Common Lisp in the back if you need to do something that Elisp can't like I did in my toy project here.
