Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs

SLIME is a new Emacs mode for Common Lisp development. Inspired by existing systems such Emacs Lisp and ILISP, we are working to create a fresh new environment for hacking Common Lisp in.

Features * slime-mode An Emacs minor-mode to enhance lisp-mode with o Code evaluation, compilation, and macroexpansion. o Online documentation describe, apropos, hyperspec. o Definition finding aka Meta-Point aka M-.. o Symbol and package name completion. o Automatic macro indentation based on &body. o Cross-reference interface WHO-CALLS, etc. o … and more. * SLDB Common Lisp debugger with an Emacs-based user interface. * REPL The Read-Eval-Print Loop “top-level” is written in Emacs Lisp for tighter integration with Emacs. The REPL also has builtin “shortcut” commands similar those of the McCLIM Listener. * Compilation notes SLIME is able to take compiler messages and annotate them directly into source buffers. * Inspector Interactive object-inspector in an Emacs buffer.
