: We present a number of developer tools and language extensions that are available for use with Steel Bank Common Lisp, but which are perhaps not as wellknown as they could be. Our motivation is twofold: ﬁrstly, to introduce to a developer audience facilities that can make their development or deployment of software more rapid or eﬃcient. Secondly, in the context of the development of the Common Lisp language itself, we oﬀer some observations of patterns of use of such extensions within the development community, and discuss the implications this has on future evolution of the language. Key Words: Development tools – Language extensions – Language evolution – Lisp Category: D.2.3, D.2.12, D.3.3
