We review the study, on the lattice, of the Green–Schwarz gauge-fixed string action describing worldsheet fluctuations about the minimal surface holographically dual to the null cusp Wilson loop, useful to evaluate the cusp anomaly of 
super Yang–Mills (sYM). We comment on discretization, numerical explorations and challenges for the nonperturbative study of this benchmark model of gauge-fixed worldsheet actions.
