Not yet. I'm one of the SLIME hackers. We've been working on it for a
few months now.

When that's finished, I want to make a Distel 4.0 with some of these
advanced features. There's a whole lot of cool stuff you can get at
runtime in Lisp (documentation strings, argument lists, good
backtraces, cross-reference information, ...). The trick will be to
figure out what would work well in Erlang, and how to get at it.

World domination to follow.. :-)

BTW, I'm a bit depressed at the number of people who said "Hey, Distel
looks great, but it doesn't work on my computer!" at EUC. Are you guys
having problems? (Actually, I know that people at work are having
troubles that prevent them from using Distel, I really must do a sweep
through of fixes....... it works fine on my computer :-))
