    But no one is stopping you from building a "full modern standard library". I am doing just that with https://github.com/galdor/tungsten. Of course it would be nice to have a large company do all the work as it is the case for Go, but it is not going to happen. As always, you either do the work yourself or pay someone to do it.

    The specification is limited, no doubt about that, but I am convinced that any modernization effort would end up in a huge mess with everyone trying to inject their own preferences from the languages they already know with no regard for the spirit of the original specification.

    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…
