The New Lisp Machine
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2015 12:05 pm
I periodically check in to see if anything has changed in the lisp world.
I tried to create the 'new lisp machine', a intel PC that would be a web server and only ran lisp as the OS.
On the internet nobody cars what OS you are running, so why not have a Lisp OS.
This was in 2000, 15 years ago. The last few years, it is all Java and PHP, and now Javascript.
It would be nice to change it. I am looking at a job using Erlang, so it has invoked another look into the state of Lisp.
So why not a new lisp machine? A new dialect designed just for web to replace LAMP?
