I'll invite to explore the CL ecosystem starting with https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl/ (it might be larger than one thinks) In terms of asynchronous programming, not built-in to implementations (like, no green threads), we have - https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie - an asynchronous HTTP server - https://github.com/fukamachi/woo - fast non-blocking HTTP server on top of libev. - an actor-based task manager for Hunchentoot: https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr see also https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl/#parallelism-and-... for promise libraries, async libraries, the actor library, an STM library, lparallel (run tasks in parallel, easy and often useful), bindings to other async tools. Those libraries are active.

> An async http server ? What about Woo and Wookie ? https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie Wookie is one of those that does either-or -- the main competency is async io, and it offers multi-threaded perf with some plumbing (see the Threading guide[0]). I don't mean to put down the libraries out there (lack/clack, hutchentoot, wookie, woo, ningle, etc), but for languages that aren't single-core-by-design/circumstance (i.e. node, python, ruby), I don't expect it to be this difficult to find a library that handles both multi-threaded operation and asyncio at the same time, abstracted cleanly so users don't have to think about it or add plumbing. Performant web servers that take advantage of what your language is good at is table stakes these days, if things like this are not standardized/obvious choices at this point it tells me that I wo

An async http server ? What about Woo and Wookie ? https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie seen on https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#network-and-inter... also for reference some companies keep betting on CL today: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies (and I suppose that's just the emerging iceberg)

See https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie, a fast app server that uses libuv (very much in the same vein as Woo).

Wish I could up this one more. I am in the process of playing with Lisp (in my case, Common Lisp, the SBCL variant to be specific) and I would love to see people with production services in any Lisp, or even Scheme. I have been very attracted to the idea of Lisp, specifically as I discovered teepeedee and teepeedee2 as being some of the first truly fast web servers [0], and now I found wookie,[1] an evented web server running on top of libevent. I really want to play with that. The closest thing I know of to people running "prod services on Lisp" are the Untyped guys in the Racket Scheme community [2], and not much else. I know pg and company became famous on Viaweb and Lisp, but since then there are scarce examples. However, the amount of bitching libraries and cool books (pg's book included) make me want to buck the trend and do it
