Yeah I felt that Quicklisp doesn't have the same features as package managers in other languages, and https is one of them. Also it's run by a single person which doesn't have too much time to constantly update the libraries.
In comparison I found Clojars^[0] for Clojure better and community driven like NPM. But obv Clojure has more business adoption than CL.
Do you use CL for work?

It's funny, on one hand I wouldn't want to use CL for work because when money gets involved in something you enjoy you stop enjoying it. On the other hand, however, I would really hate doing any serious work with a language I can't stand, like Python or Clojure.
