I guess I should make a list of shortcomings of the SLIME debugger in order to justify Clordane, just as I made a list of problems with Unix in order to justify CLOSOS.

shka_: Clordane is for any implementation with maintainers willing to add support for it.

There roughly 0 probability that any SBCL maintainer would be willing to add support for Clordane.

People are mostly happy with SLIME. I just saw that AndrewYoung called it a "nice debugger".

I'm understanding correctly that adding support for clodrane will be no smaller feat than, say, adding package local nicknames support to an implementation?

Seriously, I have to work out with scymtym what a communication protocol for Clordane would look like.

I suspect the most likely way in which things will evolve is that Clordane is going to be for SICL only for quite some time. Then if (and only if) people can use it, do use it, and like it, perhaps there will be interest in adding support for other implementations.

Another possibility is that people will use SICL+Clordane for development and debugging, and continue to use their existing implementation for deployment.

in principle that was an idea behind ecl's bytecode compiler according to papers I've read
