Arena Allocation in SBCL
Based on the commit message [0], and the references to "user code" in this document, my guess is that user programs have or will have access, but it's not finalized enough to be documented.
That being said, I suppose if you're developing an internal API for a compiler/interpreter, your "users" could be other parts of the project rather than language users.

SBCL: merge of mark-region GC
The Immix inspired mark-region GC developed by Hayley Patton (https://github.com/no-defun-allowed/swcl) got merged recently, which is pretty cool news for SBCL users.

Selling Lisp by the Pound
Reminder that Portacle is a way to try Common Lisp (and its tooling!) in a portable, self-contained way, on all platforms.

plain-common-lisp: a lightweight framework created to make it easier for software developers to develop and distribute Common Lisp applications on Microsoft Windows
Thanks for your work! I can definitely see how your project improve CL's accessibility. Not sure if you're aware of the Portacle project, but I think there is an opportunity merging two projects together.

Emacs4CL: A 50 line DIY kit to set up vanilla Emacs for Common Lisp
Also it is not much of a kit either since the user is left to install all the tools on their own. User who wants an easy to start kit with Emacs baked in is much better using Portacle or clean Emacs, or some of more polished Emacs distributions like Doom or Prelude together with Roswell for the "kit" part.

Then there's Portacle, a portable Emacs with SBCL, Quicklisp and Emacs goodies (magit, file-tree…) pre-installed. https://portacle.github.io/

What are your opinions on these three books?
There are some updates about Portacle last year. The latest is 1.4c Pre-release. https://github.com/portacle/portacle/releases Without Mac, can not verify it.

So i wanna learn Common Lisp
See also Portacle: https://portacle.github.io/ It is a portable Emacs that is ready-to-use for CL: it comes with Slime, some Emacs packages, Quicklisp and git.

How to learn Lisp?
Others have covered the language, but you'll also want tooling. An easy one to get started with is Portacle. It's a Lisp compiler, emacs with Lisp plugins, QuickLisp package manager, etc. so you don't have to spend time setting it all up.

Trying to get into Lisp, Feeling overwhelmed
1) I also love VSCode ... but for Lisp Emacs really is so much better. Look at Portacle. It basically is Emacs that's well configured for Common Lisp with SBCL right out of the box. You'll have to learn how SLIME work (the shortcuts to recompile running Lisp, etc).
