@curtosis
Unlike me, you should talk to @amszmidt. What do you think about the existing port/emulation of the 1985 LM-3 #MITCADR to #HDL as a starting point for a modern lisp computer (instead of the scheme things that happen sometimes)? (I've tried and failed to get involved because of excuses. ;_;).

I forgot the LM discussion of Actually Using The Extra Bits Available.

@me @retrocomputing

  1. extremely cool
  2. The thing is, while rolling back experienced computer performance/degrowthing computing clearly has to happen
    I think hand-wired 8 bit computing is an educational rather than practical thing. (Obviously 8 bit AVR MCUs are a practical thing). 32 bit physical lisp machines on fpgas! (Eventually)
