[slime-devel] SLIME development newbie questions

[Tamas K Papp]

Hi,

I decided that it would be worthwhile to learn some Emacs Lisp, mainly
in order to understand the internals of SLIME better -- maybe I could
get to the point that I could extend and customize it myself.  This is
why I am posting here instead of an emacs group.

I am looking for help on how to get started, especially with the
following:

1. Is there a SLIME-like IDE for Emacs Lisp?  If not, what's the
closest?  I know that Emacs itself provides some functionality, but it
does not look nearly as comfy as SLIME for CL.  Eg I couldn't figure
out the equivalent of M-. and similar.

2. Is there a document describing the architecture of SLIME?

3. How should I start?  What's the best way to start poking around in
SLIME?
