@jnpn Wow, that takes me back. It has me posting from @rheged.dircon.co.uk, which I *think* was my first #Linux daily driver. It might be the last Acorn ARM (BSD 4.3) machine I used before Linux, but I don't remember for sure.

@simon_brooke how long have you been lisping ? :)
Show threadSimon Brooke2d ago
@jnpn Since 1983 or 84. Started with Acornsoft #Lisp on a BBC Model B, playing with experimental theorem provers; then Interlisp, Portable Standard Lisp (which I think was very underrated -- I loved it as a system to work on), some Common Lisp, and for the last fifteen years mostly #Clojure.

@simon_brooke that's quite a trip. does clojure fill the void or are you missing some stuff lost in past eras ?

@jnpn I am writing the #Lisp I want to see in the world! 😀
