Paolo AmorosoThe July 1987 issue of Computer Language magazine reviewed half a dozen Lisp implementations for MS-DOS and the Macintosh. There are a few I didn't know such as TransLISP by Solution Systems.<a href="https://archive.org/details/computer-language-vol-4-no-7-1987-07-miller-freeman-publications-us/page/136/mode/2up?view=theater" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/computer-language-vol-4-no-7-1987-07-miller-freeman-publications-us/page/136/mode/2up?view=theater</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#msdos</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

I have a question though. But Isn't this a semantic game? Aren't the definitions of "one thing", what this one thing is and "doing well" so flexible that we can apply to anything? For example, a set of n items is one thing too. Can we say electron or the js ecosystem fulfils the unix philosophy too because it does the one thing of quickly building cross platform apps really well? <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/philosophy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/emacs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/lisp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lisp</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/unix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unix</a>

Paolo AmorosoI chewed on the tasty food for thought of the blog series by Ramin Honary <a href="https://fe.disroot.org/users/ramin_hal9001" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ramin_hal9001</a> on how Emacs fulfills the Unix philosophy. If a Lisp system is extensible, customizable, and self-documenting by design I'd say it's an application platform, or pretty close.<a href="https://tilde.town/~ramin_hal9001/articles/emacs-fulfills-the-unix-philosophy.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tilde.town/~ramin_hal9001/articles/emacs-fulfills-the-unix-philosophy.html</a>Ramin, <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/@sacha" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sacha</a> Sacha Chua, and <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@screwtape" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@screwtape</a> will elaborate on this in an upcoming episode of the Lispy Gopher show.

Kent PitmanIn 2009, I had to cancel a scheduled keynote talk at the European Lisp Symposium (ELS) in Italy because I was due to be in surgery at that exact time for my thyroid cancer. (Surgery went well, and I've seemed thankfully free of it since.) They were kind enough to ask me to speak in Lisbon in 2010 instead. But I didn't at the time, in 2009, speak publicly about the surgery or the cancer. Instead I made a vague excuse about an illness in the family (not technically untrue) being the reason I couldn't do the talk. On the evening before the surgery, I wrote a somewhat metaphorically cryptic post to my blog that I figured would at least capture my apprehension in case the surgery did not go well, or even if it did, I suppose. It's still interesting to have a window back into my thoughts.<a href="https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/05/over-edge.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/05/over-edge.html</a>Back to modern day, I do have a planned procedure (not tomorrow, not dire and far more routine, so not to worry, but please don't ask for additional details just now) that I've been reflecting about just a bit. Though in all honesty, I and all of us are probably at more risk just walking around on the streets in our emerging fascism (here in the US, though other places are not exactly immune either), and that's on my mind all the time now as well. Any one of us could become an unperson, certainly anyone with decent ethics anyway, as that seems to almost be the criterion for who they're going after.The tanka I wrote is not specific to one thing in particular, just the sum total of various such things that point to the ephemeral nature of each of our existences.It's both frightening and infuriating to live in a society where we are at risk merely because of our very existence or nature being seen as a crime.There may be some among us that don't feel at risk. I wish I could say that's good. But I worry it's obliviousness/denial, or privilege, or something darker, perhaps even being comforted by being on the winning side of bigotry. Maybe give it some thought, because I don't want people to be disempowered by what's afoot, but neither should they feel it's someone else's problem. We have real problems that need to really be addressed. It's a time to feel uncomfortable because no one should be comfortable with what's happening. It's a time for people to empathize and contribute to getting the world back onto an even keel.Meanwhile we are all individually fragile, too. I had a philosophy class in which the professor told us we could not say with certainty that we would have lunch with someone tomorrow. The future is intrinsically less than certain, we're just talking degree here. But the things going on now are good cause to appreciate those we love, and make sure that we've got things in order in case things get wonky.And even beyond the politics of the day, the state of climate is dire. I talk enough of that elsewhere, so won't belabor it, but its spectre is ever-present.Still, it also makes it a time to live, not to put off living to some mythical future time when things will be better. (I wrote a different haiku about that earlier this evening as part of this same pondering.) Let's work toward creating a bright future, but let's also not fail to appreciate that today is all we know we have for sure. Make the best of it. And be the person you want others to remember fondly.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#love</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/friendship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#friendship</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/legacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legacy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/empathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empathy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solidarity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hope</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#society</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CarpeDiem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarpeDiem</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ELS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ELS</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ELS2009" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ELS2009</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ELS2010" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ELS2010</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonLisp</a>

lispm<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@AmenZwa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@AmenZwa</a> Not sure what you think the original <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LISP</a> was, but this is the LISP I Programmer's Manual from 1 March 1960:<a href="https://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Programmers_Manual_Mar60.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/rle_lisp/LISP_I_Programmers_Manual_Mar60.pdf</a>

amen zwa, esq.The original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LISP</a> had 7 primitives: \(\texttt{cons}\), \(\texttt{car,}\) \(\texttt{cdr}\), \(\texttt{atom}\), \(\texttt{quote}\), \(\texttt{eq}\), and \(\texttt{cond}\). And the original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smalltalk</a> syntax could fit on a 5×7 card. That meant a novice could learn the syntax in a matter of minutes, and direct all his efforts to learning how properly to wield the power of that Turing-complete language. This was why, in the 1970s and the 1980s, many college freshmen were taught FP in Scheme (a more modern LISP) and many middle school children were taught OO in Smalltalk. These were surely the best "first" <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> languages.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FORTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FORTRAN</a> and <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BASIC</a> were simple, too. FORTRAN, the first high-level language, has been in continuous use since the late 1950s by engineers, who are not keyboard warriors. BASIC was invented in the early 1960s for teaching programming to non-STEM students at Dartmouth. It sired a whole generation of self-taught children in the 1980s.Compare those to C++, Erlang, Python, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, and pretty much every language in popular use today. Most consider Python and JavaScript to be the simplest of modern languages. Yet, they are massive, complex languages. No 10-year-old could teach himself those, nor should he.The original versions of those classic languages cannot be used to solve modern problems. But they should still be taught to youngsters as their first language. Throwing in the kids' faces a modern enterprise language confuses them and discourages them. Consequently, many novices never attain that state of flow, when the joy of programming gushes forth.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Simplicity</a> is a virtue.
