How to load a batch of files in common-lisp?

[Jacktian]

In common I use eg.
(compile-file "/tmp/hello.lisp") and
(load "/tmp/hello.fasl")
to load a file into common-lisp enviroment.

But when I have thousands of files, it seems difficult to load the
files one by one. I wonder if there is any easier way to load them?

The rumour has it that you can cat these files together. If you do it
in the correct order, you'll be able to just load the resulting file.

Try something like:

(defvar *cast-of-thousands* '("hello" "goodbye" "foo" "bar"
"frobozz" "slartibartfast" "macsyma"
"ultimatequestion" "ultimateanswer"))

(defvar *longer-names* (mapcar #'(lambda (x) (make-path :directory
'(:absolute "tmp")
:name x)))
*cast-of-thousands*))

(defun load-it-all (cast)
(dolist (s cast)
(compile-file s)
(load s))

(load-it-all *longer-names*)

Or just use something like ADSF for managing your project:
