SLY is a fork of SLIME. We track its bugfixes, particularly to the implementation backends. All SLIME's familiar features (debugger, inspector, xref, etc...) are still available, with improved overall UX. SLY's highlights are: - A full-featured REPL based on Emacs's comint.el. Everything can be copied to the REPL. - Stickers, or live code annotations that record values as code traverses them. - Flex-style completion out-of-the-box, using Emacs's completion API. Company, Helm, and other supported natively, no plugin required. - An interactive Trace Dialog. - Cleanly ASDF-loaded by default, including contribs, enabled out-of-the-box. - Multiple inspectors and multiple REPLs. - "Presentations" replaced by interactive backreferences which highlight the object and remain stable throughout the REPL session. - Support for NAMED-READTABLES, macrostep.el and quicklisp. - A portable, annotation-based stepper in early but functional prototype stage.
