I'm new to SLIME, and trying to figure out some practical debugging strategies since I'm so used to single-stepping and breakpoints, and we don't have those facilities (IIRC) under Lisp/SLIME.
My own debugging approach is heavily based on SLIME's ability to display function call backtraces and examining/inspecting stack frames. I personally rarely use single-stepping and breakpoints.
I agree. With a functional programming style your error is usually on the stack and easily seen examining the backtrace.
