Lisp

OK, so I'm teaching a class in LLMs and want to use copilot for the next batch of students, who are from the IT department. If I want to demonstrate copilot and copilot chat, I need to use something other than emacs because the only emacs based interface to copilot doesn't have chat and appears somewhat fragile.

Copilot supports Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or one of the JetBrains IDEs.

Since this is a long-term assignment, paid for commercial offerings are fine (i.e. JetBrains). It seems VS Code has a few options, like Common Lisp vs code extension or Alive. The former seems to be a syntax highlighter. Alive looks like it has a REPL and may be closer to a real development environment.

Anyone got a favorite combination? Also open to other co-pilot / Common Lisp integrations that I may have missed.
