On that Lisp, I'll guess adapting something like Macsyma would be a no-no because of the constriained specs, right?

- amszmidt 3y agoOne of the initial reason for the Lisp Machine project back then was to run Macsyma, since the PDP-10 was too constrained, and a multi-user system that meant you had to share resources. So MACSYMA runs well on the CADR :-)
- gumby 3y agoHa, look at the specs of the PDP-10 (a KA-10 originally!) on which it was developed. About 1/4 MIPS with IIRC up to 256 K words of memory!
- pjmlp 3y agoWhich is yet another reason to show most embedded boards nowadays do just well with managed languages, it is only a matter of culture and urban myths preventing many people to do so.
