hi is there any quick alternative to not having step in abcl? is it still possible to debug programs?

also if someone wanted to contribute to maybe implementing step, is there a ticket with some details on hurdles needed to overcome to get it added to ABCL?

bottlecap: for debugging ABCL interactively under SLIME in lieu of STEP implementation, I visit code in a buffer, copy the top-level to *slime-scratch*, insert BREAK forms, then evaluate the form with C-u slime-compile-defun. Really suboptimal, but the best route I have found.

As for hurdles for implementation details, the best person to summarize what would be needed would probably be Alan Ruttenberg. He is best reached via the mailing list.

bottlecap: if you were to start with a mail post to the mailing list I could gather the resulting information into say, a github or gitlab ticket, where we could get more contribution.
