How can you talk about irrationality when it's obvious that you've never worked on a Lisp Machine and are thus totally projecting and making up things?
Then of course you accuse the Lisp advocates of suffering from what you so clearly represent. If you had a clue, even a minimal one, you would never write 'just port the damn software'. This statement - and your previous comments - portray fundamental ignorance of what you are trying to argue against. May I suggest further education - Lisp Machine emulators are widely available - so as to stop making a fool of yourself.
- _0ffh 8y ago"Lisp Machine emulators are widely available - so as to stop making a fool of yourself" Thank you for proving my point, which you didn't get. a: They were not successful, but should have been, and now it's too late. b: If anybody cared it wouldn't be too late for success. a: No see, somebody DID care! b: And still no success... qed
- rjsw 8y agoI have done a fair bit of work on the various Lisp Machine emulators and don't think that asking why the software wasn't ported to something else is a stupid question. The K-machine development was 'just porting the damn software' to a large extent.
