I guess that makes sense. Kind of like how Infocom was compiling their software on a VAX, and distributing it to the micros.
But it's weird to think about how much Lisp/Smalltalk related stuff came out of Apple in the 80s and 90s. I can't imagine them doing that stuff now.
- lispm 10y agoApple is doing Swift now. Goes into a similar direction: a "better" language than Objective-C / C++ for application development. At that time there were key Lisp (and Smalltalk) people in Apple's management, especially Larry Tesler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler He described why they were working on Dylan: http://lispm.de/docs/prefix-dylan/book.annotated/foreword.html http://lispm.de/docs/prefix-dylan/book.annotated/foreword.ht...
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI should probably look into Swift at some point, but I've never found the time, and I find languages like Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, JS, Haskell, CL, and Scheme far more compelling.
