This is only useful if you want to start a Swank server in a Lisp processes that doesn't run under Emacs. Lisp processes created by M-x slime automatically start the server.

When dealing with network protocols and file formats, it's common to have to read or write 16-, 32-, or 64-bit datatypes in signed or unsigned flavors. Common Lisp sort of supports this by specifying :element-type for streams, but that facility is underspecified and there's nothing similar for read/write from octet vectors. What most people wind up doing is rolling their own small facility for their particular needs and calling it a day.

This library attempts to be comprehensive and centralize such facilities. Functions to read 16-, 32-, and 64-bit quantities from octet vectors in signed or unsigned flavors are provided; these functions are also SETFable. Since it's sometimes desirable to read/write directly from streams, functions for doing so are also provided. On some implementations, reading/writing IEEE singles/doubles (i.e. single-float and double-float) will also be supported.

This package provides Common Lisp system collecting tools written to wrangle OpenGL Shader Language (GLSL) source files.

This library provides a wrapper type for secret values, to reduce the risk of accidentally revealing them.

This is a Common Lisp library providing logging faciltiy similar to CL-LOG and LOG4CL.

Authentic provides a light-weight and extendible solution to user/password management for Common Lisp applications. It has features such as safe password storage in a database, password reset, user confirmation tokens, and user authentication.

This is a Common Lisp library to enable simple message pipelines.

This is a Common Lisp package for hash table creation with flexible, extensible initializers.

System-Load is a Common Lisp library for accessing the system's CPU and memory usage.

This library provides a WebSockets extension for the Huchentoot web server.

This library is an implementation of Deflate (RFC 1951) decompression, with optional support for ZLIB-style (RFC 1950) and gzip-style (RFC 1952) wrappers of deflate streams. It currently does not handle compression.

This is a Common Lisp library which provides functionality to read/write Bit Map Font (BMF) into text, JSON and XML.

This library enable rapid file search, inspection and manipulation straight from the REPL. It aims at replacing Unix tools such as find or du. It also offers a replacement to the pathname Common Lisp API. Slot writers which commit changes to disk, e.g. permissions, modification time, etc.

This package contains the specification of all functions and variables from GLSL as data.

CL-SXML implements Oleg Kiselyov’s SXML, an S-expression-based rendering of the XML Infoset.

Common Lisp implementation of Graham Cormode and S. Muthukrishnan's Effective Computation of Biased Quantiles over Data Streams in ICDE’05.

hdf5-cffi is a CFFI wrapper for the HDF5 library.

RUTILS is a syntactic utilities package for Common Lisp.

This is a portability library that allows one to fully override the standard debugger provided by their Common Lisp system for situations where binding *debugger-hook* is not enough -- most notably, for break.

This is a simple Common Lisp library to evaluate some forms in parallel.

Markup allows the use of HTML syntax with in Common Lisp code. This has the advantage of being able to copy HTML snippets and have them instantly be functional, less double quotes than a s-expression approach, and designers will be able to understand the embedded HTML.

RE is a small, portable, lightweight, and quick, regular expression library for Common Lisp. It is a non-recursive, backtracing VM.

Eager Future2 is a Common Lisp library that provides composable concurrency primitives that unify parallel and lazy evaluation, are integrated with the Common Lisp condition system, and have automatic resource management.

EXTERNAL-PROGRAM enables running programs outside the Lisp process. It is an attempt to make the RUN-PROGRAM functionality in implementations like SBCL and CCL as portable as possible without sacrificing much in the way of power.
