ciel-lang
Scientific and numerical libraries
What would be a good addition? I'm thinking about numcl and a matrix library (which one?).
Absolutely. Then maybe a ciel-stat super package. Or choose the indispensable libs to include in CIEL, not surcharging it too much.
Looks like there was a book written about the library:

That's a confusing part about the lisp-stat: it takes good parts from L. Tierney's XLisp-Stat: https://lisp-stat.dev/docs/overview/
XLisp-Stat code is unlikely to run except in trivial cases.
This book is about xlisp-stat. I read:
At the time of writing, there is one implementation of lisp-stat, called XLISP-STAT […] based on the XLISP dialect of Lisp, a subset of Common Lisp.
