Did you use LFG Grammar Writer's Workbench for linguistics work or research back then? Ron Kaplan is looking to revive the system and make it run on Medley Interlisp again.

The tests against Seibel's book were meant as a quick way of assessing the major differences with ANSI. But books like this are also a way of exercising the part of the language that is used in practice. We do mean to follow up with mo

You're welcome. Although the manuscript was circulated internally for feedback over tha past few months, we published it to the Medley Interlisp Project website only a few days ago.

One year ago or so one of my posts ended up within the first few items of the home page and my blog got about 35K views over 2 days. The blog is hosted on a commercial platform and had no server issues.

I addressed this in my reply to slayerjain above. As a hobbyist I don't mind projects that may be infrequently maintained or abandoned.

I'm a hobby programmer with no production requirements, so I often use projects maintained by only one developer who may not be much active if all all. Also, since I program in Lisp, code updated a few years ago may still be good.

Stars, forks, algorithmic rankings, or other popularity metrics are actually the least important things for me. Assuming a project does what I need, what I'm interested in is the availability of good documentation, how understandable t

The discussion basically says you don't follow an edit the full program-compile-run cycle like in other languages with batch compilers. Instead, you interactively create a program by writing individual expressions (e.g. function defini

I'm sure Mathematica is great even if I never tried it. But, to me, a large part of the appeal of a Lisp Machine environment is Lisp itself. I mean the real thing with parantheses and all, not a language inspired by, derived from, or r

Tatar's book doesn't cover or mention CLOS.

Thanks. Although it's not ANSI Common Lisp compliant and misses modern niceties, I love a Lisp Machine environment like Medley because it's a self-contained, self-sufficient, coherent computing universe. A rich space for my person

In a Lisp-aware editor, such as Emacs with SLIME, you can send to the REPL for evaluation an arbitrary block of text that contains multiple separate expressions. See for example M-x slime-eval-region (C-c C-r ).
