Neither of those restarted their Lisp when one pressed a run button. The Lispm IDEs were always running and always in the same environment as the programs. A whole different story.
- pjmlp 3y agoBeing inspired doesn't mean 100% the same experience. Just like Notebooks are miles away from that experience, and yet they allow millions of programmers to have an experience that wouldn't have otherwise, even with Lisp Machines/Interlisp-D providing a much better one.
- lispm 3y agoI still fail to see how the Racket IDE is inspired by Lisp Machines specifically. Do you have any pointers where this is discussed? What do you think is inspired by some Lisp Machine? REPLs existed before. Editors existed before. IDEs existed before. Lisp IDEs existed before. For example Interlisp had a Lisp IDE in the early 70s, long before it was morphed into something like a Lisp Machine with Interlisp-D.
