Can this compete with the momentum/performance of Julia? I'd be stoked if this became widely adopted but community size seems to be a huge determinant of success with these types of languages.

I migrated from Lisp to Julia for the ecosystem. It hasn't been worth it from my point of view. I'll migrate back to Lisp eventually.

So I can easily imagine packages like this becoming widely adopted /within/ the Lisp community.

Reminds me that there was an attempt to realize the "Back to the Future" vision in Clojure. https://github.com/incanter/incanter It never took off but looks like there was modifications made up until three years ago.

There's a lively data science Clojure community and many libs, see eg: https://scicloj.github.io/docs/resources/libs/

I've been using lisp-stat in production as part of an algorithmic trading application I wrote. It's been very solid, and though the plotting is (perhaps was, in light of this new release) kinda unwieldy, I really enjoyed using it. Excited to check out the newest release.

Can you (or anyone who has run Lisp software in production) share how the experience has been? Do the management and other colleagues like it? Do they express any concerns? Want to understand the social aspect of running Lisp in production.

institutional or retail? i wanted to do this on a retail scale but i don't know where to start as far as APIs for orders and market feeds. do you have any pointers?

Could you elaborate on this a bit ? Lisp has next to no numerical libraries IIRC ?

The bottom of the page says "© 2022 Symbolics Pte". Any relations with the Symbolics of the Lisp Machine fame?

No relation. The name was just used because we thought it would be cool to try and revive the spirit of the old company, and the name is long dead.

You guys registered this name in SG ? Uber cool.

won't answer but a good starting point is https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#numerical-and-sci..., did you see it? It has some libraries, for example magicl is developed by and for Quantum companies.
