In the case of Nyxt, the reason it does not use it is because the asdf-build-system/sbcl binary production has some drawbacks. I could work on overhauling the build system to fix the uncanny behaviour, then Nyxt would use it. > 2.

The build system could easily leave out Lisp native-inputs, no? Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
