> supports types for better speed AFAIK, Symbolics Genera mostly ignored all static type declarations at compile-time. Thus there was no speed effect from static type declarations.

On my Apple M2 Pro it runs in 15 seconds on a large world. A real Ivory machine would be roughly 70 times slower.

There are a lot of simple ways to run a Lisp system. This is a very different thing, it's a Lisp Machine operating system running on a CPU emulator (~ from mid 90s). With its own Lisp, process scheduler, garbage collector, GUI, X11 cl

Interesting. So we can compute source code! What's the equivalent of this: take code and double the numbers in it, then execute it: CL-USER 33 > (eval (mapcar (lambda (atom) (typecase atom

Yes, there are people living in East Germany. The larger cities (Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, ...) are doing kind of okay, but the less populated regions struggle a lot and people are moving away. > Because all they do is offshore? Germany

There are not just "lisp machines", but interactive Lisp implementations, coming with an IDE. The first of those were in the 60s, using text/terminal interfaces. The first Lisp already had interactive interface and end 60s &q

"Faszinating" that a lot of these systems seem to be implemented from scratch in object-oriented C++ (?), instead of Prolog, SML, OCAML, Haskell, Lisp, ... what went wrong?

Lisp is at its core an evaluator for expressions. The routine for that is called EVAL. Mathematica is a computer algebra system at its core and is a rule-based rewrite system for expressions. An example in Lisp notation: In a computer algeb

ABCL runs on the JVM. It generates JVM byte code, which then can be JIT compiled by the JVM. CLISP has a byte code machine, for which a JIT can be used. There might be others.

Note that interpreter in the Lisp world by default has a different meaning. A "Lisp interpreter" runs Lisp source in the form of s-expressions. That's what the first Lisp did. A "Lisp compiler" compiles Lisp source

JIT compilation is rare in Common Lisp. I wouldn't think that Dylan implementations used JIT compilation. Apple's Dylan IDE and compiler was implemented in Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL). MCL then was not a part of the Dylan runtime.

By default any code loaded into something like SBCL gets AOT compiled. In Common Lisp not anything can change at any moment. Especially not in implementations where one uses AOT compilation like SBCL, ECL, LispWorks, Allegro CL, ... and so

Most people use automatic indentation in Lisp, though. Thing is: Lisp is different, it's more fluid in its shape than a language, where the code only lives in one source file. My own code and data gets reprinted in the development proc

> But its dynamic nature together with automatic memory management Generally Lisp was used with a resident interpreter and (loadable) compiler, often interactively, it contained lots of information about the program under development. PA
