I don't mean to rain on the parade, but the development and maintenance
of numpy consumes a level of resources that is simply beyond the
capacity of the CL community to muster.
The NUMFocus project, a non-profit, supports this and other numerical
computation projects (most, but not exclusively python), drawing on
substantial amounts of corporate sponsorship.
I urge you to cast your eyes on this NumFOCUS sponsors list before
thinking that our community could even begin to tackle this task:

There's also the Lisp-Stat ecosystem, if you don't already know about
it. Data-frame, array-operations and LLA (Lisp Linear Algebra) cover
much of numpy's functionality; at least enough to get significant work
done.

FYI - there appears to be a library called numcl that was written
to cover numpy's functionality.

I've yet to try it, but thought I'd pass along the link.

Numpy and Common Lisp?
There’s cl-ana, which may be a useful substitute in some cases… or
april, possibly.

If you specifically want numpy, it may be possible to have Common Lisp
talking to python.

Hi Michael
I am all for it. But, as I said, I am an academic (and a cat).
Should we (as in "a bunch of common lispers", most of whom with day
jobs) want to do something like that, how would you want to proceed?
Note that I have been part of many past failures.
All the best

IMHO, it'd be easier and effective to band up together and FIRST write
a proper API specification and THEN implement it in CL.
I agree. Here’s the API specification for
NumPy: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/index.html#reference
Looks rather intimidating. Less intimidating though, than doing the
FFI dance, though.
