I'm interested to see whether the final feature set will be larger than what you'd get by creating a type-safe language with a pythonic syntax and compiling that to native, rather than building custom hardware.
The background garbage collection thing is easier said than done, but I'm talking to someone who has already done something impressively difficult, so...

It almost sounds like you're asking for Nim ( https://nim-lang.org/ ); and there are some projects using it for microcontroller programming, since it compiles down to C (for ESP32, last I saw).
I see what you did there! There's a LISP Machine with its guts on display at the MIT Museum. I recall we had one in the graduate student comp sci lab at University of Delaware (I was a tolerated undergrad). By then LISP was faster on a Sun workstation, but someone had taught it to play Tetris.
Huh. This was my entry point as well, but I find Linux very aligned with my feelings about the 4.1 experience, as opposed to Solaris which felt clunky and overbuilt. Of course this is purely subjective emotional stuff I'm talking about.
Yes, the switch to Solaris was definitely abrupt. But the current BSDs feel more like SunOS 4 to me than Linux does. Though to be honest, I do use Linux more than any of the BSDs these days.
Former Sun Micro CEO Scott McNealy, known for his provocative quotes, says Trump is doing a 'spectacular job' amid the coronavirus crisis. That's not how many tech experts see it:
It's been running for over a decade, although the community has always been small.
It's currently invite-only, similar to how LiveJournal used to be, but drop tommybgoode@gmail.com a line and mention this post if you'd like to give it a try and I'll send you an invite, which will include invites to give others you'd like to hang out with.
It's also not great that people sometimes buy them because of breaks on price and then keep them where they can't plug them in, which is the worst of both worlds. But a properly used plug-in hybrid can be a good thing for some yeah
There were a few Flash tidbits buried as downloads I took down, but the main content should all display, as it's just PHP rolling out HTML aside from the rollover up top that uses JS.
