I want clution to have a lisp image that is continuously asked to compile project sources.
It should be structured in such a way that it is easy to have it evaluate forms, and transmit data back to clution.
This image will provide the backend information necessary for flycheck, autocomplete, and indentation.

1. It must be robust and fault tolerant (some user code might cause infinite loops or crashes).
2. It must also be ready to restart the image when changes that may not be done incrementally (changing a function to a macro, creating macro characters, and so on).

See #2

I want a 'good' serializer library for ASDF system files (asd files).

Such a library should at the minimum have the following:

1. Support for feature tests via #+ and #-
2. When reading and writing a file, unmodified, bit-by-bit, the output should match the input (no losing whitespace, comments, or anything else)
3. Ability to add/remove logical components while still preserving structure.

• eg: I want to add the string "hello" as the fifth item in a list.

This library need not be smart about inserting/deleting, beyond adding the minimum amount of formatting required for output to parse, such as a space to separate forms, a newline to insert forms after line comments, and so on.

The need for such a library is for clution to have a programmatic way of reading/writing ASDF files for automatically adding/removing files. components, and managing dependencies (:depends-on at a system level, at least).
