ECL is a good choice. Upstream is active and friendly..... but: The current and only version of ECL in the tree has a bug that makes it unusable for compiling SBCL: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/1956852 * https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues/667 A fix was committed, but there hasn't been a new release yet.
