Transitive dependencies are a poor indicator of actual utilization. How many direct dependencies are there?

For what it's worth, I quit using it since it broke if you ever used the CL function `count` inside an iterate construct. Reportedly it was fixed, but it's still failing to work correctly using the Quicklisp version (just installed CL on and setup QL since it's a new laptop, so it shouldn't be pulling an old version). It was fun for a while, but having to remember "Oh yeah, don't use count" every time I reached for it for something natural was annoying and not worth bothering with.

It has 201 direct dependencies, making it the 9th most directly-depended-on system in Quicklisp, one spot ahead of UIOP.

Methodology (yes, I could've stayed in Lisp, but I started by awking systems.txt...):

    (with-open-file (*standard-output* #p"deps.txt" :direction :output)
      (iter
        (for system in (ql:provided-systems t))
        (for name = (ql::name system))
        (format t "~a ~a~%" (length (ql:who-depends-on name)) name)))

    $ sort -h deps.txt | tail
    200 uiop
