Eh, you can just distribute a .lisp file as though it were a ruby or perl script. CL is faster than the usual scripting languages, but admittedly not as fast as C or Rust.

'Just' is overdoing it a tiny bit :)

Assuming everyone has a CL installed is going to limit the audience pretty drastically.

And what about dependencies? Assume they have quicklisp installed as well?

Like I said, I love Common Lisp, but every language is some kind of compromise.
