slime-doc-contribs VS emacs4cl

related: slime-doc-contribs https://github.com/mmontone/slime-doc-contribs/ to enhance the Slime help buffer about symbols, so it eases discoverability.

yes! https://github.com/mmontone/slime-doc-contribs

I would say not very much. The Emacs packages I've developed (slime-doc-contribs and this), all use this DEF-PROPERTIES module that is accessed via SWANK for reflection on CL definitions.

Yes, indeed. The output of git diff 0.1.0..0.5.0 shows that the bulk of the bloat comes from customising rainbow delimiters to show colourful parentheses.

Here's a good guide: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

And the excellent guide to Emacs and SLIME too. https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

In addition to the great resources mentioned, see this guide: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl I like it with one difference: keep the Emacs menu bar and use it to explore the available commands.

Hello! Thank you for referring to my Vim + Slimv guide. I have, in fact, two guides to set up a Common Lisp programming environment from scratch:

For Vim: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

For Emacs: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

PPS: There's a much more well maintained and more widely used .emacs script at emacs4cl, plus a number of other resources at awesome-cl#emacs!
