2025 Medley Interlisp Annual Report

Overview 2025 marked the fifth year of the Medley Interlisp Project. We began the project in 2020 by merging code fragments from different sources and versions which last ran two decades earlier on long-obsolete machines. Over the intervening five years we consolidated the code and ported it to run on all major operating systems, as well as online via web browsers. Medley can now run most of its original applications and support the development of new ones, such as the tools and games we created over these years.

@nytpu Can I haz #LispOS yet?

#lisp

@dekkzz76 #LispMachine OSes could do something very similar in saving "worlds", just... not seamlessly. You had to actively trigger it, afaik.

There were compilers for other languages to Lisp for those, too.

#Lisp #OS #LispOS

@chjara One of the many ideas that comes up in the #LispOS papers.

One interesting aspect it also would have is that it'd lend itself very nicely to storage #capabilities.

#Lisp

@dekkzz76 @sladewatkins @theresnotime Yes, it is. With appropriate extensions for what the spec intentionally leaves up to the implementation (such as dealing with the hardware).

https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano is an example.

Don't mind hardware support, that's expected from any such smaller project.
