Show HN: A Common Lisp implementation in development

I've been working on this for a couple years.

Implementation of the standard is still not complete, but in my opinion breakpoints and stepping work quite well! Support for loading systems with ASDF is near.

Let me know if you like it! Support on Patreon or Liberapay is much appreciated

    The implementation looks easier to handle than e.g. ECL or CLISP, cool.

    Do you have an estimate how complete your implementation is?

    How does the performance compare with e.g. ECL or CLISP?

    Did you run conformity tests, e.g. with https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/ansi-test/ansi-test?

    What are the pros and cons of this vs other Common Lisp implementations such as clisp and others?

    You can support my implementation on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/andreamonaco), even subscribing to the free tier is helpful. Thanks everyone!
