Break loops were a relatively common ;-) feature in Lisp. Many Lisps had an interpreter in the REPL (with the option to compile code on demand) and in case of an error, a new 'break REPL' comes up with added debugging features and

Right, it's planned. So far they have a demonstrator with 200MWe output. It supposed to be scaled up to 600MWe. Small designs are generally not cost efficient. These reactors are not that new, since they are in part based on old design

That's why Common Lisp is a standard and has different implementations. ECL for example is called "Embeddable Common Lisp". https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/ ABCL is embeddable into Java. LispWorks and Allegro CL

Why not? There is an external IDE (SLIME in GNU Emacs) which interacts with a language server to get information about syntax highlighting, completion, documentation, source locations, ... The idea of an 'inferior Lisp' connected

Looking up the function at runtime all the time, was at the time of the design of these Lisp systems exactly the thing which one wanted to avoid. Macros were designed such that a compiled application does no additional macro expansions at r

There are roughly 1500 mid-sized companies in Germany which are among the world-leaders in their tech sector. You may never have heard it, but Elon Musk runs his factories with process automation from Germany (he bought a company) and robot

ML wasn't designed as a better Lisp. It was designed as a 'better' (and statically typed) functional programming language for writing proofs in a theorem prover. The theorem prover and then also the first ML version was writt

what makes you think that list operations make the CPU jump randomly in memory and that implementors of, say, Lisp systems haven't optimized memory management for linked lists? A modern GC provides features generations, areas, copying

Most of that are also old Lisp idioms&features, minus the static type system: * compile time code, in Common Lisp with macro, reader-macros or via EVAL-WHEN -> at compile-time the whole Lisp system is available * multiple dispatch -&

I would think that none of the available options provide a complete integrated development environment as LispWorks and Allegro CL (which are commercial, but still they exist and are available) do. The combination of SLIME/GNU Emacs an

it was developed as a programming language from day one. It just had no such evaluator, until they came up with the idea and implemented it. There were Lisp programs already before that.

That's not the experience a Lisp programmer has. One is not looking at dead code, instead one is working with it interactively. Lisp is not brutalist concrete, Lisp is wet clay in the programmer's hands. The main way to program so

Portable Genera on a current MacBook is about 80 times faster than the last hardware-based Genera.
