There have been two open source Lisp Machine OS created in the last 15 or 10 years.
However a big part of the power of the Symbolics/LMI machines was in the software itself (applications), and this is still propietary code.
To reimplement the Lisp Machine applications would take quite a big effort.
- amszmidt 1y agoThe LMI and MIT Lisp Machine source code is not proprietary since about 10 and 20 years respectively.
