I've always been troubled with the "observability" of Erlang/otp, because everytime I had to fire up wobseever, it was because I had put my system in such an unresponsive state (infinite message loop, some single actor congestionned because of third party code, or a supervisor tree crash looping because of a typo in the name of a variable that no compiler was there to catch) that wobserver _itself_ was useless.

And for the "sequential" part of the program, I would have loved a debugger on par with what's in my browser's dev tool, but it goes against the Erlang philosophy, or something.

Still, I can't wait to try smalltalk when it becomes relevant again thirty years in the past ; and if it's strangeloop video season _again_, and since I still can't write native clojure, I guess I'll try to install sbcl _again_ and set up slime _again_ and see if I get it, this time ?

You may want to try Sly rather than Slime, you may prefer its UX.

Speaking of SBCL and Clojure, I have used Stumpwm and the Nyxt browser for a while and they both seem to run very well; I wonder if CLJ has any nice desktop applications that show off how it runs.
