Ah yes, "Steel Bank Common Lisp"—because what the world truly needs is yet another Lisp variant that's just *slightly* different from the rest. 🙄 Designed for those who enjoy #debugging with a #profiler, because why not make coding feel like a never-ending episode of CSI: Lisp Edition? 🔍✨

Hah. In the tradition of hackerly error messages, apparently: “Nihil ex nihil. (can't set SYMBOL-VALUE of NIL)” and “Veritas aeterna. (can't set SYMBOL-VALUE of T)” #CommonLisp #SteelBankCommonLisp
Why‽ #SteelBankCommonLisp reports a long-method-combination-error _early_ when I have multiple methods in the same group with the same specializers but _different qualifiers_, even though the CLHS says “It is also possible to bypass the method group specifier mechanism and do everything in the body forms.”, meaning I should be able to get all the same methods I could get if there were multiple groups!

I guess, while I am at it, which #lisp #commonlisp should I settle on
