Honestly you're defending this a little too much. Nobody cares about an unfinished LISP spin-off that may be production ready some day. The OP's point still stands, CL lacks static types.
This is frustratingly common with niche languages (and I am not saying CommonLisp is not productive, itself). If people are criticizing a missing feature in a language and the response is "Yeah, but we have some bespoke third-party solution available here," it's like the responder has missed the whole point.
