We recommend these papers on the history of Interlisp. The first is a direct account by Warren Teitelman, one of the major driving forces behind the language. The other, by G.L. Steele and Richard Gabriel, covers Interlisp in the broader context of the evolution of Lisp.

Progress! Small steps, but I'm getting there. Note how we can navigate to already parsed integers and change them.
In this demo I'm turning off blocking read of the last character so we see immediately a feedback from the system when parsing goes wrong.

@oantolin There's tools and then there's tools. Before I got confident in #Emacs #Lisp I used to use (may god forgive me) Excel to do stuff like this.
Which was, I hope we can agree, unambiguously better than not being able to automate those processes. But not ideal.
We have lost so much in thirty or forty years, worst of all the autonomy to automate.
"But it feels like something from the seventies!" Yes, correct, that is exactly how it feels. Like something I can understand, control, and USE
My favorite search typo of the week is: "High performance lips"
More #ai vibe #code garbage. Seriously...RedBull and Drum and Bass. I'm sure it works well with like #python but systems languages, like #pascal which I'm a master at or #c or #assmbler and I'm sure #lisp is like this where you have to keep an internal data structure map in your head or it just won't work. You have to have continuity between things. And those things are very abstract. They can't build an OS or a compiler https://www.howtogeek.com/i-tried-using-vibe-coding-to-create-my-own-productivity-app/
If you run Medley Interlisp on your local computer, what operating system do you use most of the time to run it? Please describe your configuration and add the relevant details in the comments.
Ugh, I'm procrastinating putting any actually interesting functionality into my new #emacs #elisp mode #AMA #lisp #deextinction #cognitive #AI

Actually, Lisp images are the original containers.

This gives a very very #emacs -y experience in the browser: https://lisperator.net/blog/slip-a-lisp-system-in-your-browser/
> This is a #Lisp implementation (#CommonLisp wannabe, but oh well, we're still far from that) that runs in a #JavaScript VM.
Very much inspired by Common Lisp and Emacs/SLIME.
There's a "crazy clock demo" that runs in a canvas window.
Impressing.
If an error on Medley Interlisp lands you in a debugger window like this, press Ctrl-D to exit and return to the top level; type ^ and ENTER; or select ^ from the middle-click menu shown here.
Ctrl-D immediately goes to the top level from any debugger. ^ closes the most recent and switches to the previous of a series of debuggers of nested errors, or back to the top level if there are no other debuggers.

Resurrected Sandewall's #softwareIndividuals from 2014.
This episode is dedicated to general purpose interaction in the software individual / #CAISOR paradigm.
Next will be porting the dynamicwindows zetalisp zwei to McCLIM #commonlisp.
@prahou #unix_surrealism next #openbsd release art??
Also @pesco and @dougmerritt on IPE '84
co guest and join in on #lambdaMOO as always!
