It's all true. I used LispM's in a previous life (running the MIT EE department's computing resources in very early 80's) and there's no computing environment within an order of magnitude of the power that Genera provided.
Kind of sad, really, but I suppose it's the kind of sadness that Smalltalk mavens experience when looking at modern OO systems.
- rbanffy 17y agoAfter getting started with OOP with Smalltalk and doing some stuff with Actor (a Smalltalk with ALGOL-like syntax), it took me five years to seriously read a book on C++ and another 7 to want to learn it. I only did it for the money. And I still joke to my Java-loving friends how ST-80 made Java'09 look primitive.
