@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.
#lispmachine #lisp #os #lispos
@chjara One of the many ideas that comes up in the #LispOS papers.
One interesting aspect it also would have is that it'd lend itself very nicely to storage #capabilities.
@dekkzz76 @sladewatkins @theresnotime Yes, it is. With appropriate extensions for what the spec intentionally leaves up to the implementation (such as dealing with the hardware).
https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano is an example.
Don't mind hardware support, that's expected from any such smaller project.
