"abolish European governments by merging them together into one superstate" That wasn't the goal of the EU. Even now it isn't the goal. Nations and governments still exist.

Let's imagine we want to program some kind of state machine machinery. We can ask ourselves questions: what should it do? how should it work? what kind of features would it need to provide? From what parts would we like to build it? Ho

Too much visual clutter with very little actual benefit. I found that I don't need/want to find matching parentheses by a mix of position AND color.

For a Lisp user the s-expression variant would be more useful, because it is easier to write and read. It also helps that it is easier to indent / pretty print, because the usual pretty printer algorithms can be used. For LOOP one woul

If there is an exception a matching error handler will be selected and called in the context of the error. A default handler could be a debugger, a break loop (which is a Lisp REPL), something which asks the user waht to do or it could be a

DWIM in Interlisp was an automated error handler for Lisp code. It would be triggered on errors and then tried to guess possible fixes at runtime (misspelled functions&variables could be corrected, ...). Though one might expect a bigger

No, the reason for less than stellar performance of Lisp on the 32bit x86 CPUs were things like too few registers. On 64bit Intel CPUs this is much less of a problem and Lisp runs roughly twice as fast in 64bit mode. I would think that this

Lisp was developed at a time when space was more limited. Generally operators had short names. Page 147 of the Lisp I manual from 1960 has a function listing: https://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Prog

On thing to keep in mind when you see the language, which evolved of several decades: it has low-level (go to, ...), mid-level (macros, ...) and high-level (CLOS + MOP) elements in one language. A reason for that: the low-level parts are
