Is there a PEAR kind library for lisp? I hope there is, but I read somewhere that one of the disadvantages of lisp is its lack of serious libraries. I find that hard to believe since lisp is half a century old now.

The Common Lisp Wiki is a good place to start.

As jlf said www.cliki.net is a good starting point. Also take a closer look at asdf-install and clbuild. If you are on linux clbuild is like package manager for lisp libraries.

Mudballs is also worth a look.

common-lisp.net hosts a lot of Lisp projects. Many are installable via ASDF.

See also The Common Lisp Directory.

It's a myth that there's a lack of libraries for CL.

I can recommend clbuild to manage your libraries.

Use cl-user.net to find specific libraries.
