Vlime
A Common Lisp development environment for Vim and Neovim with REPL integration, debugging, and IDE-like features.
What is Vlime?
Vlime is a Common Lisp development environment for Vim and Neovim that provides REPL integration, debugging support, code completion, and other IDE-like features. It solves the problem of lacking a robust Lisp development environment in Vim by offering tools similar to Emacs' SLIME.
Common Lisp developers who prefer using Vim or Neovim as their primary editor and want a feature-rich development environment with interactive programming capabilities.
Developers choose Vlime because it offers a native Vim/Neovim implementation using Vimscript and Lisp, leverages modern Vim channel APIs, and provides a complete alternative to SLIMV with better integration and performance.
