Running Open Genera in a VM is quite an eye-opening experience. Such a very different vision of computing and what is possible.

- pjmlp 13y agoYes, this is why I sayed in another thread here in HN that UNIX made the industry do a left turn. Lisp Machines I only know through videos and old papers. But I do have experience with Smalltalk during my CS degree, before Java was a thing. Smalltalk is by no means Lisp, but shares a few ideas. If those systems had become mainstream, computing would probably be like Bret Victor discusses on his "Future of Programming" talk. Instead we have developers still using systems as if UNIX had been released last year.
