Where is the C interface to Symbolics Lisp machines…?
There’s lots of alternatives, MSR wrote an OS in C#
- dzaima 5y agoA lisp machine, by definition, runs lisp. The ABI problem only exists in environments where multiple programming languages exist. I doubt much non-.NET software runs on that C# OS either. If you want multiple programming languages to be able to sanely run within a single OS (and do more than just pure computation), though, you have the ABI problem, and this is what the whole discussion is about.

- pjmlp 5y ago.NET was created as a Common Language Runtime. When it was announced it supported about 27 languages. From Microsoft themselves, J#, C#, VB.NET, and Managed C++ (later replaced by C++/CLI). It was WebAssembly before its time (among many others), with tons of features that WebAssembly is yet to support.

- pjmlp 5y agoWritten on top of Lisp.
