I was never aware of the existence of a Lisp implementation with an IDE.
Now I see that there is.
The two lisp books I read (Paul Graham's ANSI Common Lisp and gigamonkey - Practical commmon lisp) always used text editors.
Whereas for smalltalk I installed a VM (scratch) that included a GUI.
And also even in an old issue(80s?) of Byte magazine dedicated to smalltalk there were extensive toolings with GUI. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7052479 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7052479
"By resembling smalltalk" I wanted to mean that the user needs to interact with a development environment to get the full benefits of powershell. And that this is in its nature.
Nevertheless, I stand corrected. I never knew that there were lisp implementations designed to work with an IDE.
- pjmlp 10y agoYou never heard of Lisp Machines or Mac Common Lisp? Lisp stop being based on text mode environments in the late 70's, when it moved out of mainframes into systems with graphical displays. Many of the Smalltalk ideas were inspired from Interlisp-D, the Lisp workstations used at Xerox PARC. Text mode environments for Lisp is a GNU/Linux thing. If you wish I can provide some links.
- terminalcommand 10y agoI had heard of lisp machines as a term, but none of the others mentioned in your comment. Thanks for pointing out, I'll do some research on this topic. If you have links easily accesible to you, I'd appreciate them, if not no problem at all.
