Hey! I recently started to learn LISP, and was looking for a way to try everything I've been learning, so I created this package (which can be installed with ql [0]) to draw fractals in a typical L-system form. You can see some of the cool fractals created in the examples of the project [1]

Nice job! The output looks really nice.

It was also clever to output to SVG: one of the trickiest for beginning CL can be to get a GL window to work... Is not that is super hard, I just find that it is an common failure vector (there's always something like a library that is missing or something like that).

Could be cool to include instructions to run something like live-server [1] (or some CL alternative) to get instant feedback on a browser window :-)
