Lisp-stat: Lisp environment for statistical computing

They also infringed on the original lisp-stat https://homepage.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/xls/xlsinfo/ without so much as an acknowledgement a previous time this was spammed.

And there don't seem to be much non-trivial code written under this project, it's just loosely putting together some existing work and adding some READMEs with the same format.

A bit disorienting for someone looking for statistical computing environment in CL, to say the least. Maybe I'm stupid but this is no where near what (a somewhat complete environment) it makes itself look like.

... which is not a bad reason in some cases.

I for instance find Python the most horrible language + ecosystem outside the js ecosystem (but I like js the language more and that's saying something), so I would always opt for lisp (or pen + paper) over Python. R / Rstudio are nice though.

I don't think it really tracks either; Lisp is quite ergonomic for this type of thing and, if you have been doing it for a while, you'll have your own tooling to work faster/more efficient in that lisp and of course, the comparison falls down then as the swiss knife now has a chainsaw option which is as good or better than other options to cut down trees.
