Allow me to flog WuWei, http://wuwei.name, a toolkit for doing Ajax web UIs in Common Lisp, now in production use on http://biocyc.org .

Very nice. It would have been a little easier to setup if mtlist and wuwei where Quicklisp installable. Thanks!
According to README, quicklisp installation is available for wuwei.

How does it compare to Weblocks?
Think of it as a toolkit rather than a complete platform. Nothing against Weblocks, but when I evaluated it (some time ago) it seemed to want to take over the application architecture. WuWei is more lightweight, providing tools for doing things like managing session state and dynamically updated HTML that you can use at will as part of a normal web application.
