As a reminder: Zach's Journal - Making a small Lisp project with quickproject and Quicklisp. Just because I otherwise quickproject and similar things will forget again. With Clozure CL 1.6 Quicklisp also works quite completely (specifically cl-fad is functional and therefore you can get a larger stack of packages to fly finally). Zach is slowly putting together a stack of tools for Common Lisp with which it is fun to play around again. Even if I will probably never become a big Emacs fan, no matter how much others swear by the part for Lisp.
