that Park Sungmin's patch tries to address and avoid. I have always assumed that people<br>
who do use SLIME with CCL either don't notice those issues or don't care about them as much<br>
as I do, and that people who use SLIME with other implementations don't experience the same<br>
issues because of (possibly very subtle) implementation-dependent details related to how<br>
threads and dynamic/special variable bindings interact with each other. People do run into<br>
those issues fairly often, and my explanations of those issues seem to fall on deaf (or at<br>
least very bored) ears.<br></blockquote><div>Gary, could you explain please your workflow on hacking Lisp without using the SLIME? I've</div><div>always considered it as a de facto standard free IDE for Lisp.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I'd be glad to get swank-helper into the CCL distribution, and will try to do that as soon<br>
as I can. Sometimes, things can get lost in the shuffle for very mundane reasons. I almost<br>
missed this message thread because of problems with the spam filtering service that I use,<br>
and when I say "as soon as I can", I naturally mean "as soon as all of those lonely attractive women<br>
who want to meet me" stop sending me as much email as they have been sending me lately.</blockquote><div>:-)</div></div></div></div>
