I was going to say, in 2023 I looked around and for Clojure at least Conjure seemed like the best option.

Unfortunately, in the table linked above the CL support in Conjure is so-so. I'm curious what people use for CL or if it's still slimv/vlime.

I did a write up configuring Conjure with neovim here if that's something that's appealing: http://danielwilcox.uk/computers-log-0/

We still use slimv/vlime. At the end of that page it says Conjure doesn't support debugging, this is rather crucial for Common Lisp.

Is vim-fireplace dead for Clojure?

I don't think vim-fireplace is dead per se, but as a former vim-fireplace user, Conjure is just a lot nicer. It also helps that Conjure offers support for multiple languages, which enabled me to dabble with Fennel, Racket and Janet without having to install extra tooling.

Either LispWorks or Allegro Common Lisp, or eventually Emacs/Slime, anything else is going outside Common Lisp historical background and evolution.

Clojure with Cursive, for a similar experience in Clojure.

Or Raket if going down the Scheme route.
