    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.

    * 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 some alternatives?

lisp-interface-library - LIL: abstract interfaces and supporting concrete data-structures in Common Lisp

ctype - CL type system implementation

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

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