But you don't have syntax highlighting :( On errors, the debugger looks arcane… cl-repl or sbcli might help. With sbcli, you even don't have the interactive debugger, only the stacktrace. It's easier for beginners (or for quick development). They are based on readline and do some things well (match parenthesis, multiline input for cl-repl).
