Comment on A startup's "Why we use Lisp" storyparent

Comments

To be fair, this is on a Lispworks mailing list discussing Lispworks in particular, which has it's own IDE that provides all of these features.

'Go To Source', 'Edit Definitions', 'Edit Callers', 'Edit Callees', 'Display Backtrace' are all a keystroke (or extended command call way) along with various tools that may or may not be present in others (I've never used MS Visual Studio, which seems to be a leader in this field)

One of the parts I miss from it was that break points are at a source level, not a line level, which allowed incredibly fine control when tracking down bugs.
