  A curated list of awesome Common Lisp frameworks, libraries and other shiny stuff.

If it's all good, sounds like that's a reason to learn it. ;) But I have to push back some -- I mean you can work alone and build your own castles from scratch if that's your thing (I totally understand that appeal), as in any language, but you don't have to. There are libraries, some quite good, here's an incomplete collection: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl It's also easy to interface with C libraries or Java libraries, there are options to interface with C++ and Python. There are also communal projects with more than one active developer if you wanted to work on such group things, and some companies here and there.

• coalton

  84 991 8.4 Common Lisp

  Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.

  

And Common Lisp actually allows adding type declarations[1], which can make code much more performant!

Also, if you really, really want types, as in Haskell-like types... there's Coalton[2], a language that's embedded in Common Lisp (CL is that powerful it allows things like this) with a ML type system and more "modern" idioms for people used to functional programming.
