We have used Common Lisp in production at Rigetti Computing for 4 years both in cloud deployment as well as for a downloadable SDK. Common Lisp is used to build what is currently the best free optimizing compiler for quantum computing [1, 2] as well as one of the most flexible quantum computer simulators [3]. They’re both open source, so you can actually see for yourself how we version, deploy as binaries, and deploy in Docker containers. &gt; If you are using lisp in production for non-trivial cases, do these issues still exist?…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2003.13961/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
