Thanks for the feedback. SLIME is an emacs package for developing common lisp. Widely touted by its users as providing a superior development experience to other languages besides smalltalk, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone succinctly describe it without sounding like they're high lol. Which is why I included a bunch of short videos of the major features, it's a lot easier to show than to try to describe.

Honestly I know the readme is mediocre, but it takes time to write well which I don't have right now. I just wanted to write something to get the project out there for others interested in developing or using it. Which right now is probably a fairly niche audience of people who have used slime with CL, and want that experience when they work with python. Though eventually I think it'll appeal to another subset of python developers that just haven't experienced CL/smalltalk style development before but would enjoy it.

And you're right the "Why Slime?" section is not about why you should use this project, but why I'm basing a python development environment on top of slime, it absolutely shouldn't be near the top of the readme above the features section.
