Common Lisp Development Tooling

Not sure how my article even made it onto HN but HN has been my home page for 16 years so I'm pretty stoked.

A quick note, Common Lisp tooling documentation exists in a LOT of places, but I could not find a single beginner friendly map of the full development stack, so had a long chat with various LLM's to spin one up. Regardless of your views on this approach to things I hope the article helps some people get a better mental model of what the pieces are and how they fit together. It's helped me wade through a lot of choices and debug a few things.

There's also vend (https://github.com/fosskers/vend) for package management and per project isolation.

This reads like AI generated text, which it probably is.
