If you are writing services for a platform like kubernetes, the inner-loop development cycle is unmatched. You just connect your editor to the lisp image running in k8s, and with a couple of keystrokes, your code changes are shipped to the target container, replacing what's running live -- as native machine code. You can debug in a repl, handle conditions (exceptions) interactively with restarts, etc etc.

Yep makes sense. I worked with clojure for many years so it’s familiar to me. Iterating via the repl is a great way to develop software. I was wondering if sbcl has good tooling for code navigation, completion, debugging.
