		svetlyak40wt on May 10, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Common Lisp homepage I'd recomment a ClozureCL instead of SBCL for a newcomer, because CCL does not do some optimizations and it is easier to debug. For example, it will show you local variables created by `let`, but SBCL – does not.

Running

    (declaim (optimize (debug 3)))

in your repl will turn these optimizations off and give you roughly the same debugging experience.
