I've released difftastic 0.46! In this release:

* Ada support
* Support for Arduino C++, better TOML handling, and a ton of upstream grammar updates
* Fixed several nasty corner cases with trailing whitespace or binary/UTF-16 confusion

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.
