alright, fedi, lay it on me: what Lisp should I use? my requirements:

- easy to install on windows (as good as python or better)
- sane names for common functions ('head' and 'tail' instead of 'car' and 'cdr')
- library support (an https implementation would be nice but is not strictly required)

Currently considering:
- janet
- easy to install with `winget`
- seems arc-esque? I liked arc.

- chez scheme
- only supports up thru R6RS tho, would be nice to use R7RS-small
- also I looked at some sample code and it has stuff like 'cddr' ???

- steel bank common lisp (SBCL)
- the classic
- lots of libraries
- might be worth learning regardless
- I'm not doing the variable indent thing though, tabs ftw

edit: I'd like to start by making an http api, and then try making a matrix chat bot.
