  • fiveam-asdf

    ASDF plug-in for defining test systems based on the FiveAM test library

  • again, don't. use fiveam to define a test suite, and run your tests from the repl via `(fiveam:run! 'my-test-suite)`. then, use fiveam-asdf to integrate your test suite into your system definition, and you can compile, load and run your tests with `(asdf:test-system "my-system")`.

  • sly

    Sylvester the Cat's Common Lisp IDE (by joaotavora)

  • try switching to sly (it should be a drop-in replacement) and see if that makes you happier. it comes with a lot of extra features enabled by default, relative to slime.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • rainbow-blocks

    block syntax highlighting in emacs

  • About tools: This and this can be useful.

  • cl-cookbook

    The Common Lisp Cookbook

  • guide books I stumbled upon while web-searching for some Common Lisp features: gigamonkey (for format, loop, and basic file handling), and lispcookbook (for debugging, type system, web development, among other things).
