> too many focus on SBCL + Emacs and then complain about Lisp tooling.

well yea, lispworks and allegro are expensive commercial projects. I wish sbcl, the defacto best open source option had better tooling. emacs is great and all for the true believers but I'm an unwashed vscode user. For plenty of reasons I can't justify it in my startup but I'd love to spend more time working with common lisp for personal projects but my time is limited so I prefer clojure or rust.

They have community editions.

I can't load my side projects in LispWorks' community edition, so… (because of the heap limit)
