Emacs is a system that adheres to this theory, being a small C core that implements an elisp runtime, and then the rest of the built-in functionality (as well as the entire plugin ecosystem) implemented as easily-tweakable elisp on top of t

What does the App Store have to do with any of this? I can't imagine any technical restrictions that the App Store enforces that could not be enforced by the OS alone. For instance, "no background services" and "you ca

I know that, at different times, NASA has used Forth[1] and Lisp[2] in some of their space applications. Both of these languages offer REPLs that generally accelerate the debugging process, and while your "average" Lisp might be u

Why does the eco-friendliness of the processor you're testing on matter at all? I can guarantee you that your users are not going to go out and purchase less power-efficient CPUs themselves just because you tested on a power-ineffi
