One of the things I don't like about Common Lisp is the unusual names. Just on the basis of the linked page, CL21 doesn't fix that.

Take princ #"Hello, ${name}\n". Why not just use print like the rest of the programming world. Okay, some languages use writeln, etc. But princ? Why not print?

A little further down, we see while-let1. Why the number? If you want to call it "Common Lisp in the 21st Century" you need to clean up the syntax.
