SICL, and, I'm also interesting in CLASP. I managed to complete of build of CLASP yesterday with yitzi's help.

Yes. I believe I quite understand the differences. Aesthetically, I prefer to do everything, all the way down to machine code/asm interfacing using CL, and not lean on C++

But if CLASP really matures with impressive features, and it fills a need, I won't ignore it.

Yes, I've already seen some examples of weird looking code that way, withiin a Lispy patterns.

z4kz: I am still working on bootstrapping, which is the essence of the SICL implementation. But there are already good libraries that resulted from the project, like Eclector, Cleavir, Trucler, etc.

:z4kz If you get even one single error during Pt.1 or Pt.2 of the SICL bootstrap process, and you're on a Debian or Debian derivative system like Ubuntu or Devuan, clear your /usr/share/common-lisp folder!

z4kz: Nobody has attempted to bootstrap a Common Lisp system this way, so there is nothing to learn from, other than my own mistakes.

But once you listen to a Robert Strandh presentation or, even better, make the time to 'make' his documents to PDFs and read the visionary motivation behind SICL, it's truly inspriing, especially if you have a big collection of CL books like I do!
