    There was a great comment about LispWorks over on the reddit discussion, linked here[0]. I really need to give it a shot at some point, especially as someone doing CL professionally.

    I know that Lisp is popular on HN but that it's mostly a kind of zoo like experience where the proper devs come here to gawk at us but I really cannot recommend it enough for any kind of work. We use it for stock market analysis but almost every piece of code we write is CL. I'm currently trying to convince people to switch over our CSS over to LASS[1].

    The `let` binding is local, so it's referring to clojure.core/+, and outside the function `add` I can use the name `add` to call it. Seems it's handling that case correct?

    > I watched a video and it does seem rather complete, but [1] indicates there is no debugger?

    I think debuggers tend to be used as a library across many different editors, rather than the editor/plugin providing that functionality. Personally, I don't use debuggers much as the functions I write tend to be small and evaluating small executions with the repl tends to reveal the issue quickly. Sometimes when refactoring others code I've used https://github.com/philoskim/debux to various degrees of success.

    I do think cider (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider) has stuff regarding stepping debuggers, but I'm not sure how common it is to use it. Maybe other Clojure users can fill me in :)

    > . I also don't see a profiler mentioned

    Yeah, as you said, the Java ecosystem basically covers that. For OSS stuff, I use VisualVM, and for professional stuff I use YourKit, both of them work well with Clojure and points out my user-space code with ease. And I've never been paid anything for actually writing/maintaining Java code, so even with that, seems I'm able to use those tools just for Clojure :)

    > As an aside, by "continuations" did you mean "restarts"?

    Ah yes, of course. The condition system and restarts :) Thanks!

    To debug a threading macro you definitely should take a look at debux https://github.com/philoskim/debux .

    Really cool! I've used https://github.com/philoskim/debux for somewhat similar(nested prns); I find the horizontal UX quite interesting.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing LASS and debux you can also consider the following projects:

ql-https - HTTPS support for Quicklisp via curl

hashp - A better "prn" for debugging

spinneret - Common Lisp HTML5 generator

cider - The Clojure Interactive Development Environment that Rocks for Emacs

pomegranate - A sane Clojure API for Maven Artifact Resolver + dynamic runtime modification of the classpath

quicklisp-client - Quicklisp client.

conjure - Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)
