@thephoeron #commonlisp #lispmachine Both were originally/initially developed in Germany. KnowledgeWorks traces back its roots to a system called Ludwig, developed in the WISDOM project at Triumph Adler AG. Then renamed Luigi and later commercialized by Harlequin (1990) for LispWorks as KnowledgeWorks.

Babylon was developed by GMD, Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung. It was later also commercialized by VW Gedas.

Attached: a screenshot of LUIGI on Symbolics Lisp Machine.

@natty #Emacs / #Zmacs (#LispMachine Emacs with deeper access than GNU Emacs) say no.

#EmacSpeak iirc does make use of non-textual information about data it has available as well.

You can attach objects and arbitrary attributes to text in Emacs (or indeed you could conceptualize the text as just an incidental storage location for pointers to those objects).

@alchemist
many of us ! In particular I have been awed by @surabax 's recent toot series on symbolics era #lispMachine stuff, who is working on launching #lispIreland https://lisp.ie (WIP) monthly broadcasted talks as well.

@amszmidt for #lispm #MITCADR , @amoroso for #interlisp
as well are centrepoints for me here.

#climate - More @kentpitman #haiku
- I asked different people in NZ about the climate
- My #graeber essay take on modern capitalism versus the climate (you read my phlog, right)
#LispMachine revolution + #OldComputerChallenge
- I adopt #zetalisp as my normal programming language / complete programming system

Hot take: the potential of free software cannot be fully realized with static, batch-oriented, multiple-address-space, memory-unsafe programming environments. There is too much friction to exercise your freedom.

An instant messenger on a Lisp machine. From the "Communicating with Other Users" manual by Symbolics, July 1986.

@dekkzz76 #LispMachine OSes could do something very similar in saving "worlds", just... not seamlessly. You had to actively trigger it, afaik.

There were compilers for other languages to Lisp for those, too.

@amszmidt @ffog @prahou oh yeah. I just gave your fossil special access to me and installed bash and away we went (over a very long time - is fossil normally slow?). I only did some trite stuff in the #LispMachine so far.

A good article about a new (actually old, but newly recovered) version 100 of MIT CADR #LispMachine
https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/31/mit_cadr_software_recovered/

#lisp #lispm #lispmachine Today there has been made a lot of progress. MIT Lisp Machine System 100 now runs on Symbolics Genera.

@SDF
extended cut:
Check out @lispm who seems to use LispWorks and also has a Symbolics #lispMachine with pictures (keyboards with millions of modifier keys)

#AI Memo 528: CADR [Thomas Knight, David Moon, Jack Holloway & Guy Steele]

[Abstract]
The CADR machine, a revised version of the CONS machine, is a general-purpose, 32-bit microprogrammable processor which is the basis of the #LispMachine system, a new computer system being developed by the [AI] Laboratory as a high-performance, economical implementation of #Lisp. This paper describes the CADR processor and some of the associated hardware and low-level software.

Hello World!

#lispmachine Don't Serf the Internet | http://redd.it/11b5mg9

@MultimediaMage It's a #lispmachine! A computer with hardware specifically built for the purpose of running lisp code efficiently (so apparently there are unusual things like tagged memory)

Knight Machine and PDP-11, anyone? :) #tic80 #lispmachine #pixelart

Regarding your tweet

🧷 https://twitter.com/dcbrock/status/1422574574768640010

Does this ⬇️ anecdotal report by #AlanKay shed some light on the similarity?
