In 2004 I become a lispnick, using Common Lisp. That was just around the time that SLIME came out, which is a way to interact with lisp from emacs.
Now, I use gerbil. Yet, SLIME still works, and has a whole bunch of things associated with it that are very much needed for my gerbil interaction.
Not only that, but there are a bunch of things in gerbil that I have no idea about, whereas long time CL’ing means I know where to find things on that side.
So, this should also help as a bridge between CL and Gerbil.
gxi -e "(import :drewc/gerbil-swank :gerbil/gambit/threads)" \

git clone git@github.com:drewc/gerbil-swank.git
cd gerbil-swank && gxpkg link github.com/drewc/gerbil-swank "$(pwd)"
gxpkg build github.com/drewc/gerbil-swank
