    As for the library offering the async primitives, cl-async seems to be comparable with asyncio - however, it's based on libuv (a different event loop) and I'm not sure whether it's advisable or idiomatic to mix it with Woo.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing wookie and cl-async you can also consider the following projects:

woo - A fast non-blocking HTTP server on top of libev

cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr - Hunchentoot Gserver based taskmanager

cl-coroutine - Cl-coroutine is a coroutine library for Common Lisp. It uses cl-cont continuations library in its implementation.

doc - Flexible documentation generator for Common Lisp projects.

bordeaux-threads

quick-patch - Easily override quicklisp projects without using git submodules

core-cl - (experimental, deprecated) Common Lisp core for Turtl. The goal is to put all logic in lisp, and embed in other runtimes (Node-webkit, Android, iOS). Note that most desktop/mobile browsers now support the features that turt/js needs to run, so turtl/core has reached the end of its life. It remains as a reference or as a great place to pick up from if lisp is needed in the future.
