Before few years, SLIME worked just fine. I don't know now, somehow it
breaks connection too often. So I find it easier to disable it and use
M-x run-lisp -- it seem to be so much more stable work. Connection is
not easily broken unless I do kill-emacs by mistake. I don't have
access to all features of SLIME, but hey.

There is certain benefit of programming without helper functions as it
drives memory and thinking better. And I use CLISP implementation that
has a readline, so I run separate vterm or terminal where I can
quickly write any command and get its apropos or quickly jump to the
documentation of a function. SLIME has those features and when I am
not using SLIME I switch to CLISP and readline TAB TAB, documentation
opens for every function.

SBCL does not have a readline.

I also try to minimize libraries and just implement practical
functionality without dependent software.

Yesterday I was supposed to write a general Double Opt-In program in
Common Lisp but I wrote it in Emacs Lisp. I guess I will have to
rewrite it in Common Lisp, then I will do the same in Chicken,
Dr. Racket, Scheme and Perl, then maybe other languages to add.
