from the main-page:

Because i prefer growing and healing to poking at corpses, the continuously running Scheme interpreter takes the center of the stage in Geiser. A bundle of Elisp shims orchestrates the dialog between the Scheme interpreter, Emacs and, ultimately, the schemer, giving her access to live metadata.

How is this any different to SLIME? Most of the time you connect to a running LISP system though SLIME/SWANK, you don't frequently shut down the system when you do debugging/development. Introspection is basically built-in most implementations of (Common) LISP.
