https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DLdQ6yb7h8 is a really accessible introduction to programming workflows with Sly for Common Lisp. The notion of 'stickers' is novel to me: you mark places in the code where you want to remember values (essentially tracing) or pop to a debugger (breakpoints).

Programming languages aren't sports teams: you don't have to choose one to root for! They're more like music genres, you can enjoy more than one. I avoid language stickers for this reason. I don't want my identity to be "I'm an X programmer".

Really cute project using NFC stickers and a desktop app that runs scripts when an HTTP request is received. Touch your phone to a sticker to make your machine do something! https://tyler.io/shelley/
