I don't know of any cl implementations, but not all interesting hardware
has hw fp. And while packages like maxima may not get run on such
systems, lisp in general still makes sense.
And as fpga and the like grow larger, lisps -- including common -- would
make great programming environments for them.
In either case, if the fp has to be done in software, I strongly suspect
posit or gmp-style will be better than 754.
