Lisp Implementations similiar to old Lisp Machines?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/lisp

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ChrysaLisp

    Parallel OS, with GUI, Terminal, OO Assembler, Class libraries, C-Script compiler, Lisp interpreter and more...

  • ChrysaLisp is portable assembler in () more than Lisp - any other Lisp system wouldn't have comments about clobbering registers.

  • Smalltalk

    By the Bluebook implementation of Smalltalk-80

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • McCLIM

    Discontinued An implementation of the Common Lisp Interface Manager, version II

  • But I don't want to have a net negative contribution to this thread, so I'd also recommend looking at some of the McCLIM applications, including the inspector Clouseau, editor Climacs and the CLIM interactor, which are very much Lisp machine-inspired.

  • Smalltalk

    By the Bluebook implementation of Smalltalk-80 (by no-defun-allowed)

  • If you're sufficiently bored, I forked this a while ago to port it to the Nintendo Wii. You'll learn why Alan Kay said what he said about light pens pretty quickly...
