It reached version 1.6, now it covers more than 80% of the standard. alisp ships with ASDF and is capable of loading many real-world systems, let me know if your favorite system succeeds! License is GPL3 or later, no LLMs used.

That's cool. I wonder how you manage to keep track of everything with this huge all-in-one main.c. Do you plan to achieve 100%? Is there a list of what is actually missing and which relevant projects depend on the missing parts? What are the core benefits compared to e.g. ECL or CLISP?
