Not sure exactly how this maps to Common Lisp, but it looks like JDK 9
will have a lot of interesting new APIs for compiling efficient code for
langauges other than Lisp.
The latest I have found out about is [JEP 276: Dynamic Linking of
Language-Defined Object Models][1].

"A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there
is nothing to compare to it now."
We would like to announce the release of ASDF 3.1.6, the latest bug fix
release for ASDF. As usual many thanks are due to Faré for many bug
fixes, clean ups, explanations, etc. Thanks are also owed to Dave
Cooper, for testing on the Windows platform, enabling the maintainers to
test on Windows, and identifying uncaught bugs. Thanks to Anton
Vodonosov for testing the release candidate against Quicklisp on
cl-test-grid. Finally, thanks to all who found bugs, provided patches,
and used prerelease candidates.
We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of
ASDF to adopt 3.1.6. 3.1.6 does not introduce any API incompatibilities
that we know of, and contains significant bug fixes on multiple
platforms and implementations. See the Changelog (below) for a list of
the major bug fixes. Details on minor bugfixes can be found at
launchpad.net/asdf
We had hoped that 3.1.5 would be the last 3.1.x bug fix release, paving
the way for us to move to developing ASDF 3.2, which we expect will add
new features. Maybe this time!
Here is the changelog entry for 3.1.6:
Bug fix and portability release:
* Fix backtrace on SBCL.
* Fix RUN-PROGRAM of string (shell command) on Windows SBCL (ticket
#1501373).
* Fix a number of issues with bundle operations (especially on
non-C-compiler-based implementations).
* Fix component-finding in package-inferred-system.
* Fix race condition between multiple concurrent lisp processes
doing ASDF builds (ticket #1483948).
* Fix misplaced fasl cache on Windows.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes.
* Documentation improvements.

ELS'16 - 9th European Lisp Symposium
AGH University of Science and Technology
Kraków, Poland
May 9-10, 2016
http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/
Sponsored by EPITA and AGH University
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The 9th European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications and educational perspectives. We also encourage
submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new
setting and/or in a highly elegant way.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Language design and implementation
- Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
- Development methodologies, support and environments
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations
about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to
180 minutes.
The symposium will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be
registered on-site every day.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more
information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.
