Man that looks so cool. What a beautiful, clean user interface and I assume an amazing experience, with the full power of Lisp.

Is there any chance to get a Lisp Machine as an image that we can load in a VM?

All I need is a connection the internet and I would be happy to spend all my spare hobby programming time dialed away in my own small corner of a Lisp Machine. No distractions, only Lisp.

You can give OpenGenera a try.

https://github.com/ynniv/vagrant-opengenera has some instructions to get started.

http://3e8.org/blog/2016/04/04/symbolics-concordia-in-a-virt... can take you a bit further.

You should give smalltalk a try too, same idea but OOP focus ("defining" maybe rather) https://squeak.org/

Thanks! Will check it out!

Re Smalltalk, I’m 100% a Lisp man, so perhaps later, but not at the moment :-)

Not exactly a Lisp machine, but check out Medley: https://github.com/Interlisp/medley/

Lots of fun...

Thanks! Will check it out.
