(Caveat to the above graph: external dependency of dot.)

Other Solutions

  • asdf-viz: It was faster/easier to start from scratch and do what I want to do, than dig into asdf-viz to figure out how to make it do what I want to do. Lisp Curse :/.
  • asd-graph: (i) I couldn't load it. (ii) The approach of parsing an asd file instead of relying on the introspection facilities felt weird.
