SLIME, the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs, is an Emacs mode for developing Common Lisp applications. SLIME originates in an Emacs mode called SLIM written by Eric Marsden. It is developed as an open-source public domain software project by Luke Gorrie and Helmut Eller. Over 100 Lisp developers have contributed code to SLIME since the project was started in 2003. SLIME uses a backend called Swank that is loaded into Common Lisp.
SLIME works with the following Common Lisp implementations:
CMU Common Lisp (CMUCL)
Scieneer Common Lisp
Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)
Clozure CL (former OpenMCL)
LispWorks
Allegro Common Lisp
CLISP
Embeddable Common Lisp (ECL)
Armed Bear Common Lisp (ABCL)
Some implementations of other programming languages are using SLIME:
Clojure
JavaScript
Kawa, a Scheme implementation
GNU R
Ruby
MIT Scheme
Scheme48
There are also clones of SLIME:
SOLID for OCaml
