FYI - there appears to be a library called numcl that was written to cover numpy's functionality.
https://github.com/numcl/numcl
I've yet to try it, but thought I'd pass along the link.

There’s cl-ana, which may be a useful substitute in some cases… or april, possibly.
If you specifically want numpy, it may be possible to have Common Lisp talking to python.

Hi Michael
I am all for it. But, as I said, I am an academic (and a cat).
Should we (as in "a bunch of common lispers", most of whom with day jobs) want to do something like that, how would you want to proceed? Note that I have been part of many past failures.
All the best

IMHO, it'd be easier and effective to band up together and FIRST write a proper API specification and THEN implement it in CL.
Looks rather intimidating. Less intimidating though, than doing the FFI dance, though.
