alt Hacker NewsThere are effectively two Common Lisp worlds: the commercial world where Allegro and Lispworks dominate, and the non-commercial world where SBCL is more or less the only game in town.
CCL, as far as I can tell, is abandonware

Personally, I still try to support CCL, ECL and CLISP in addition to SBCL; I mostly ignore CLISP's warnings though.

ECL still has its niches (if you want to use CL in an Android application, for example, ECL is easier to work with than SBCL).

Last release was August 14 2024. For a 30+ year old project, that's quite recent methinks.
It clearly doesn't move as fast as SBCL, but I wouldn't call it abandoned either.
ototh, afaiu, SBCL gave up on ARM32. Can't blame them for that, but until 2023 I was still using an early Banana Pi with such. CCL worked there much better (also it's GC seems more robust).
