• CIEL Is an Extended Lisp

  I think https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl with a bit more trimming/tagging and interactivity (e.g. show all "stars") to empower users to explore the ecosystem and build their own image is a better way.

  There should also be a large disclaimer saying "Consider disregarding portability in favour of SBCL to get a more modern experience".

• Common Lisp with batteries included: CIEL v0.2 (aka fast scripting with useful libraries)

  It looks like CL is all the rage for quantum computing (and some AI companies).

  > quick python-like scripting

  since we're at it, why not a batteries-included Common Lisp: https://github.com/ciel-lang/ciel it comes as a binary that starts fast and that includes libraries for mundane tasks.

• 3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind

  I know you're not asking for recommendations, but Lisp, particularly SBCL, really seems to check all your boxes. I say this as someone who generally reaches for Scheme when it comes to Lisps too.

  There are a few game engines[0] for CL, but most of them seem to be catered specifically to 2D games.

  Everyone, if you don't have a clue on how's Common Lisp going these days, I suggest:

  Some companies, the ones we hear about: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

  and oh, some more editors besides Emacs or Vim: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... (Atom/Pulsar support is good, VSCode support less so, Jetbrains one getting good, Lem is a modern Emacsy built in CL, Jupyter notebooks, cl-repl for a terminal REPL, etc)
