Common Lisp (of which SBCL is the main implementation) is great. ASDF is the main “build system” and is built into SBCL, but then you need to download Quicklisp to automatically download libraries rather than manually cloning them to the ASDF directory. Common Lisp will have a lot of weird and awkward function names because they were trying to unify all the existing 60s/70s/80s Lisps into one syntax (hence “Common”)
