https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DLdQ6yb7h8 is a really accessible introduction to programming workflows with Sly for Common Lisp.
The notion of 'stickers' is novel to me: you mark places in the code where you want to remember values (essentially tracing) or pop to a debugger (breakpoints).
@wilfredh I tried using Sly with stickers, and it was an improvement in whatever is there.
However, I felt that the CIDER debugger allows for a richer debugging experience, where you can step over every single expression and inspect values.
Hope more such functionality makes it into CL-tooling as well.
