#FreeSoftwareAdvent Day 4: Quicklisp
The definitive and pretty much universally used package repository for Common Lisp, and as such is essential for making the language properly usable.
The list of available libraries is bewildering, and totally refutes the commonly-heard opinion that Lisp is too old to be relevant for new software: actually it's amazing how much new software continues to be written, and how diverse the range of interests of developers still is.
