clisp mostly. Easier to use than sbcl, which mostly fails to install.

That's interesting, because I've never had sbcl fail to install from a package manager on linux, BSD, or Mac.

sbcl fails to install? what?

Since decades on windows with foreign locales. The installer just breaks, and self-building fails also.

With rpm or apt it works of course, but doesn't feed my interest. clisp also fails on many systems (e.g. libsigsegv on win64), but there I can at least hack it away.

Are you sure? I use SBCL with Windows with no problem. My machine is localized for spanish language. Also CLISP works just fine.
