That’s what Common Lisp is.

You got downvoted, but you're correct. Obligatory XKCD: <https://xkcd.com/927/>

Personally I prefer lisp 1 languages, like scheme. Even there, though, there was a split over r6rs, so we got a bunch of mostly-like-r5rs schemes and racket.

Maybe the problem is that lisps are no longer popular enough to have a winning implementation! If there is one, though, then it's Common Lisp on SBCL.
