As linked in the readme at the link, I am an ardent vim user and lisp enthusiast. I got tired of hard to read error messages in SBCL with my vim set-up, so I spent a few days cobbling together this `:make` plugin for sbcl Roswell. More about my rationale around why I did it is in the readme. Let me know what you think!

Why not just run the compilation though emacs/slime, and let emacs figure out the line numbers for you?

See e.g. https://github.com/jasom/geany-lisp for a plug-in for a different editor that does this.

How this compares to using cl-lsp[1] with Neovim?

LSP is the wrong interaction paradigm for CL: you might as well use some other language if you’re going to limit yourself to what LSP can do.

I would think that logic should apply to Clojure as well yet LSP is becoming the de-facto standard for it

I dunno, I only use cider with Clojure. I don’t even like LSP for the languages it’s supposedly good at.

It would say it is more like Cursive is, at least for those that see value paying for their tools.

cl-lsp isn't very mature yet. I still use it, but it doesn't provide much by way of completion or checking.
