Neat! I’m glad lisp tooling is moving along, though having to install guile for a single tool is probably a nonstarter for common lispers.

What’s the interop story with Sly/Slime?

My thought also. I often use local models for Common Lisp and Scheme coding and edit errors on s-expressions are a time-waster. Using sift with appropriate lisp codings skills might improve things. Worth a try.

After my morning coffee I will try an installation using:

brew install guile ; git clone https://github.com/jjba23/sift.git ~/sift ; ln -s ~/sift/bin/sift /usr/local/bin/sift ; sift version ; sift doctor

You can run SLY / Geiser or any other REPL and that will be a compliment to sift, so you will have an even better experience, LSP + REPL is a really killer combo in my opinion and works well. Only you need to tweak your editor to make good decisions for you in some regards like go to definition (you may see duplicates)
