• Who's using Genera, and how?

    From John@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 22 17:43:16 2024
    I periodically get interested in running Genera, but it always seems
    like there's some reason I can't get it going -- the latest being that
    it appears the VLM depended on some buggy X behavior which has been
    fixed in more recent releases?

    Anyway, I'm curious as to who's running Genera/OpenGenera these days,
    what they're running it on, and what they're doing with it. Is the CL implementation sufficiently complete that it can run modern code that
    was developed on e.g. SBCL, or is it a little too old and crufty?

    If anybody's doing interesting stuff on other lisp machine environments
    like Medley, I'd also love to hear about that!

    I use Medley as my primary Lisp environment for hobby programming. So
    far I wrote these small Interlisp programs in various stages of
    development:

    Stringscope: string listing tool
    https://github.com/pamoroso/stringscope

    Femtounit: unit test framework
    https://github.com/pamoroso/femtounit

    Sysrama: documentation tool
    https://github.com/pamoroso/sysrama

    Braincons: Brainfuck implementation
    https://github.com/pamoroso/braincons

    Now I'm exploring developing Common Lisp code on Medley.
