> "A Lisp interpreter ..."

You a not paying attention.

The title is 'A Lisp installer...' - not an 'interpreter'. Pay attention what it is about. The page also says: 'Roswell - Common Lisp environment setup Utility'

> and I just said I found Racket to be flawless in that regard since TECHNICALLY Racket is a Lisp

Can Racket set up a Common Lisp project? No. That's what this tool is about.

Racket is a descendant of Lisp. Not Lisp. It is nowadays its own language.

The topic was about a new installer for Lisp, not an 'interpreter' and not 'Racket'.

Racket is great - this site even uses it - but the relevance here is near zero.
