There's also the Lisp-Stat ecosystem, if you don't already know about it. Data-frame, array-operations and LLA (Lisp Linear Algebra) cover much of numpy's functionality; at least enough to get significant work done.

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. Regards,Elliott Johnson

If you specifically want numpy, it may be possible to have Common Lisp talking to python.

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 Marco

IMHO, it'd be easier and effective to band up together and FIRST write a proper API specification and THEN implement it in CL.
I agree. Here’s the API specification for NumPy: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/index.html#reference Looks rather intimidating. Less intimidating though, than doing the FFI dance, though.
