Debugging Lisp Part 2: Inspecting (malisper.me)

I am following this series like my favorite TV show! Eagerly waiting for the next ones. If the author writes a book on it, I'll buy for sure.


Likewise. This is exactly what I need to continue with Lisp. Up until now, I have been writing 10 to 20 line programs and rosetta code copies. This really firms up my understanding on how to actually use Slime effectively and understand a bit more of what Lisp/slime has to offer.


Completely agree. I am using SLIME+SBCL a lot right now and these articles are coming at a great time. They really help to demonstrate the power of the tooling.


I'm doing the Google/lisp-koans (https://github.com/google/lisp-koans), and I do agree, these articles are great on learning the innerworks of the tools and the language itself. Great stuff.


The CL community on exercism.io is small but top-notch and very helpful. Even after something like 7 years of CL hobby programming I learned something new having experienced Lispers review my code.


Can anyone kindly let me know how did he create those mini videos (or those animated videos that shows steps?

Thanks in advance.


They are gifs. I used Open Broadcaster Software to record the videos and then used ezgif.com to convert those videos into gifs.


Thank you. I am learning Scheme using Dr. Scheme, are you aware of any such debugging tools for Scheme as well? Kindly let me know.

Keep up the good work, you've a very good blog.


I'm afraid I don't know that much about debugging with Scheme. I've never built anything large enough with it that I would need to extensively learn how to use the debugger.
