This is the challenge I have as well. I want to use Lisp for a lot of things but the reality is that parsing PDFs, tagging parts of speech, and then throwing it all into Postgres/Elasticsearch is a lot easier with a bunch of "gem install" commands than anything I've seen for Common Lisp.

(ql:quickload "packagename") works great in Common Lisp.

The QuickLisp package manager has been around for a few years now.

QL is a package manager. I'm talking ecosystem/libraries. Use QL to install postmodern and tell me how you feel about its time zone support.
