Show HN: Julius, a New Lisp Implementation

This is a new and very preliminary Lisp implementation that is based on Common Lisp. The main goals are to minimize external dependencies. Currently only sbcl is supported. The only other dependency is on Quicklisp, which should strictly be necessary only for testing.

Do you have a few examples? How is it different from Common Lisp? I looked at the test folder but it's too short, and I know more Scheme/Racket than CL to understand the difference.
