SBCL seems pretty actively developed. A proposal for coroutines implementation appeared recently and AFAIK it is being actively discussed and improved upon.

Do you have a link to the proposal and the discussion? I am quite interested to see the implementation details. Thanks!

Here's an SBCL coroutines talk at the European Lisp Symposium from 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2nVKfYJykw

Yeah, so I believe that this proposal kind of petered out at proof of concept phase but the author of the one being discussed references it.

It's on the devel mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/sbcl/mailman/sbcl-devel/thread/CAF...

And arena support, and a parallel GC... there's always something exciting and promising coming up.

The proprietary implementations are also quite good.

I am learning scheme(dr racket), which is i think derived from lisp, what is this actually used for and do people build anything with lisp???

Scheme is mostly used for teaching, but there are many production applications out there written in Lisp (Emacs for example). Also I'd like to mention Clojure, which is "lispy" and used by big cooperations.
