- Description:
- 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.

- USES:
- emacs gmake tex
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- To enable autoloading of SLY, add this to some Emacs init file:
(require 'sly-autoloads)
You should specify some Lisp implementation. This works for both SLY and SLIME:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "path_to_your_lisp_binary")
SLY however has convenient specific variables for more complex
configurations. E.g.:
(setq sly-default-lisp 'sbcl
sly-lisp-implementations '((sbcl ("sbcl"))))
Please see their documentation.
Contribs in `sly-contribs' list are automatically loaded and enabled (and those
not in it are disabled) each time a new session is launched, or `sly-setup' is
called. If you define `sly-contribs' in some initialization file, be sure to
include sly-fancy in it (instead, you can add to the list using `add-to-list',
after the `require' above).
If you just want to immediately enable a contrib, you can instead use
`sly-enable-contrib', but be aware that the effect will be temporary. It will
last up to the next connection established or `sly-setup' call, unless you add
the contrib to `sly-contribs' in the meantime.
