The "Requirements" section on https://github.com/fukamachi/woo
says that "Woo" currently
* runs on no other operating system than Linux
* runs on no other Common Lisp implementation than SBCL
* requires libev to be installed

Tracking down the dependencies, woo.asd
https://github.com/fukamachi/woo/blob/master/woo.asd
requires static-vectors and static-vectors.asd
https://github.com/sionescu/static-vectors/blob/master/static-vectors.asd
says that it runs on Franz Allegro, CCL, CMUCL, ECL, Lispworks, and
SBCL, while all other Common Lisp implementations ar not supported

Woo is obviously a non-comforming Common Lisp program
but fails to say so on the GitHub page.

Conforming Common Lisp programs should run on *all*
Common Lisp implementations, not only on SBCL.
