just to make sure, i meant the slowness of the *development* of slime.

long story short, i (and a couple of my colleagues) used to have even
the commit bit and we used to invest a non-marginal amount of time
into working on slime, but not anymore. some of our work is still
there (e.g. making fuzzy completion's UI usable), and i still keep
rebasing a minimal set of fixes for really annoying bugs/features in
my fork, but these days it's much more about lowering annoyance than
making slime any better, and with as little effort as possible.

which is sad, especially if i'm not alone with this attitude, and i
have heard similar sentiments.
