Which Lisp?

Question for you Lispfags; I'm checking out Common Lisp, and I'm finding it's lacking even the most rudimentary convenience string handling functions, like split. This disappoints me. You promise me the world, and yet I get stuck back in the 70's, writing yet another string library.
So, is there something akin to a 'modern' Lisp? I'm talking library/module functionality, unicode handling, and generally 'batteries included'.

yes. http://www.cliki.net/Common%20Lisp%20Utilities is kinda essential.

Wait... Common Lisp lacking string handling?

What .. are you a fucking idiot?

You probably can't even access databases or network resources in LISP. I bet all LISP programs do nothing but loop over the equivalent of "print 'hello world'" while the programmers masturbate furiously.

CL-PPCRE, without which any string handling in CL is kinda pointless, includes a split function, appropriately called SPLIT.

(require :cl-ppcre)
(use-package :cl-ppcre)

(split " " "foo bar baz")

==> ("foo" "bar" "baz")

FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, a Perl-compatible regex engine is better than a hundred string functions. Any operation you do combining half a dozen string functions (substr, concatenation, search, etc.) can be done in a single regex, and for OMG OPTIMIZED fags, they're actually faster.

Lain.
