Personaly i found abcl a bad experience.
Thoughts on ecl & clisp ?

sbcl works nice & fine. But i’t’s the only lisp implementation i know.
There are good books on racket-scheme & chez-cheme.
The only book i know for lisp is, “Common lisp , a gentle introduction to symbolic computing”.

      I know in general there are thing in Serapeum that don’t work properly in ABCL, but I have gotten gotten patches from ABCL users so to be fair there are definitely people using it there.

        On my Mac with ABCL 1.9.2 I can load it via Quicklisp and get for example this error:

        ; Caught COMPILE-FAILED-WARNING:

;   Lisp compilation failed while compiling

        Program below works fine with sbcl & ccl.
        For abcl i get alot of warnings, not errors,

        
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
(declaim (optimize (speed 3) (safety 3)))

(ql:quickload "serapeum")

(defpackage alain
  (:use :cl :serapeum)
  (:export main));defpackage

(in-package :alain)

(declaim (type (integer) *anint*))
(defparameter *anint* 2)

(-> addtwo ( integer ) integer )
(defun addtwo (x)
  ( + *anint* x ))

(defun main ()
	(print (addtwo 3)));main

(in-package :cl)
(defun main ()
  (alain::main))
(main)
