> I still remember the first time I looked at the Alexandria library and realised I'd already implemented a good 1/4 of the functionality myself

Yeah, same here. I have a bunch of utilities lying around from when I started that Alexandria would have completely obliterated.

I'm interested in cl21's use of symbol partitioning. I've always thought the `cl:` package was really, really bloated and somewhat confusing to newcomers. Something that divides everything into "this is for math" "this is for primitive data types" etc would make things a bit easier to manage.

I know /r/lisp didn't really like it for the most part, but since the spec is frozen it's nice to see people who are involved in lisp actively trying to make it better. The world is littered with successful projects that started out with people saying "You're wrong, don't bother doing this." I wish Mr. Fukamachi well and look forward to progress.
