    Solutions for the lack of https:

    - add in https://github.com/rudolfochrist/ql-https (downloads packages with curl)

    - use another package manager, CLPM: https://www.clpm.dev (or the newest ocicl)

    > CLPM comes as a pre-built binary, supports HTTPS by default, supports installing multiple package versions, supports versioned systems, and more.

    - use mitmproxy: https://hiphish.github.io/blog/2022/03/19/securing-quicklisp...

    Other options are:

    - Quicklisp -really slick, libraries in there are curated. (with https support here: https://github.com/rudolfochrist/ql-https and here: https://github.com/snmsts/quicklisp-https.git)

    - for project-local dependencies like virtualenv: https://github.com/fukamachi/qlot

    - a new, more traditional one: https://www.clpm.dev (CLPM comes as a pre-built binary, supports HTTPS by default, supports installing multiple package versions, supports versioned systems, and more)

    For recent Quicklisp upgrades: http://ultralisp.org/

    Ocicl is very new (5 days) and tries a new approach, building "on tools from the world of containers".

    LPM's warning is not surprising. It's common for libraries (dare I say open-source ones?), even if they work well. It's part of the stability game, once they are marked 1.0, they are stable. LPM works well (as reported by others).

    QL wants to do it portably, there are easy workarounds, but yeah…

    There was a great comment about LispWorks over on the reddit discussion, linked here[0]. I really need to give it a shot at some point, especially as someone doing CL professionally.

    I know that Lisp is popular on HN but that it's mostly a kind of zoo like experience where the proper devs come here to gawk at us but I really cannot recommend it enough for any kind of work. We use it for stock market analysis but almost every piece of code we write is CL. I'm currently trying to convince people to switch over our CSS over to LASS[1].
