I wouldn't recommend using infix libraries if you really want to get into Common Lisp though. They're a bit of a crutch for people coming from other languages, but that's it.

Pretty much the whole language is based on Polish notation. The sooner you realise that + - * / are just function names like any other, the better you'll do.

For example:

  (+ 1 2 3)

  in plain symbols is just:

  (function parameter parameter parameter)
  
  But if I were to write my own addition function:

  (addition 1 2 3)

  it would also be:

  (function parameter parameter parameter)

  and so is:

  (http-request "http://www.google.com")

  (function parameter)

If you use infix notation, you're writing half your code in a competely different semantic to the other half. I can't imagine it helping people really get a proper grasp of how Common Lisp works.
