• Debugging Common Lisp, by malisper.me

  ref: https://malisper.me/category/debugging-common-lisp/

  Debugging in Common Lisp is quite different from your typical C family experiences. Combine langauge built-in feature like (break) along with tools from SLIME (slime-inspect-* and slime-trace-dialog-*, etc.), you will get all from other debuggers, and perhaps more.

• Greenspun's tenth rule

  ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule

  Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.
