Hi, I haven't seen support for that. (History: AFAIK, some time ago a version of the IDE was also working on a different Lisp implementation -> Liquid CL (originally known as Lucid CL)).

However, I am a bit slowed down by the fact that debugging in SBCL is not very accessible, i.e., SLIME has a bit steep learning curve (to make a traditional Windows user feel good with Emacs workflow) and VSCode Alive extension is somewhat limited. > > Therefore, I have tried to figure out if I could use LispWorks IDE/debugger with SBCL backend. By looking through documentation, I have found that SLIME is supported with LispWorks, but I have found no references to process other way around, so I presume the answer would be – no. But in order to be sure I have not missed anything; I wanted to post the question in the mailing list as well. Am I correct that this is not possible? > > Best, > Ugis
