💡 Why we need lisp machines
｢ They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of ｣
The image shows a digital interface with a light blue sky and white clouds as the background. The main focus is a white rectangular box labeled "Articles" with a hand cursor icon pointing to it. Inside the box, there are four article cards displayed in a grid format. The first card on the left has a black and white striped pattern with the title "What is quality anymore?" The second card features a black background with white diagonal lines and the title "How to get more attention to your...". The third card has a red background with a black circle and two red hearts, with the title "I will never ask you to do anything I would...". The fourth card is partially visible and has a white background with a gray icon. Below the grid, there are two additional cards: one with the title "In-Depth: The Classic" and another with the title "DICE Conference +". The interface has a sidebar on the left labeled "my mind" with a profile picture icon.

Astronomers have found hundreds of protoplanetary disks around young stars, the birthplaces of new planets. It was assumed that the center of the galaxy was too hostile an environment for planets to form, but now astronomers have found evidence of protoplanetary disks there too. The observations were made with ALMA, peering into the dynamic and turbulent environment of the Central Molecular Zone near the center of the Milky Way. Planets find a way.

in reply to jbz • • •"Compiled to microcode"?
Sort of... and sort of not.
Probably meant to say "compiled to machine code", like any other machine and compiler. The machine instructions were quite readable, at least after getting used to them. Mostly a stack machine with 256 registers to buffer the top of stack.
MIcrocode is another matter.
LMI had a microcompiler for a while, which could take a (smallish) lisp function and create a single instruction to execute it. Then you'd create a "defsubst" -- a function that would be open-coded -- to persuade the compiler to emit that instruction.
However, this only saved time if instruction fetch and decode dominated execution in normal machine code. It was kind of tricky. (Their marketing folk sure loved it, though.)
Symbolics never released a microcompiler. The micromachine (for the L-machine, that is) had a much wider microinstruction word (sort of like VLIW stuff?). That meant there was much more parallelism going on for each microinstruction. That meant there was no straightforward microcompiler.
Later, the I-machine series no longer had a writeable control store for microcode. It was all in ROM, and that worked pretty well.
The Sunstone chip, the next Symbolics architecture, was going to be a RISC version of all this with no microcode anyway. It was cancelled the day it taped out for its first S-machine chip, sadly.
(And yes, the architectures of the L-, I-, and S-machines were spelling out LISP. The joke was the P-machine was going to be the "penultimate, pocket, parallel" architecture.)

in reply to jbz • • •I'll have a crack at trying to learn some basic Lisp programming, via uLisp and a microcontroller. To my limited knowledge, this feels *like* having a Lisp machine, also pretty cool, so it's a hook to at least take a first step.
