But it is like Common Lisp's little brother.
With EIEIO now it is even growing up a bit :)

I think the name clash is unfortunate. Bad self. However, in practice

things, just a small overlap during discussions. In particular I don't
think package.el has any symbols that conflict with things from CL.
