Likewise. This is exactly what I need to continue with Lisp. Up until now, I have been writing 10 to 20 line programs and rosetta code copies. This really firms up my understanding on how to actually use Slime effectively and understand a bit more of what Lisp/slime has to offer.

Completely agree. I am using SLIME+SBCL a lot right now and these articles are coming at a great time. They really help to demonstrate the power of the tooling.

I'm doing the Google/lisp-koans (https://github.com/google/lisp-koans), and I do agree, these articles are great on learning the innerworks of the tools and the language itself. Great stuff.

The CL community on exercism.io is small but top-notch and very helpful. Even after something like 7 years of CL hobby programming I learned something new having experienced Lispers review my code.
