Giving thanks

I am very grateful that I can use, to my pleasure, two actively maintained ANSI Common Lisp implementations, one public domain, one free software. I program in these implementations using a free software text editor itself programmed in a historically interesting Lisp dialect. The result is a cohesive and comfortable environment for weaving ideas into programs.

I am also grateful that on just one hardware system, I am able to run rich Forth, Smalltalk and Prolog systems. Later in the year I will be adding Erlang to this list. Moreover, I am free from the physical constraints which hampered the use of these systems by the progenitors. In the same vein, I have two excellent free software compilers for C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++. I also have access to a freeware Modula-2 and Oberon-2 compiler.

Finally, I have been able to emulate many different computer architecutres, and run many interesting operating systems. Among the more interesting ones, I have an ETH-Oberon system, and an Open Genera 2.0 system. Sometime soon, I will have a working Interlisp-D environment.

I look forward to many programs being freed from the shackles of commercial licensing, to the resurrection of what was lost from the 80s, and to the death of today's trends to come.

Amen.

P.S.: Clojure is not a LISP.

*Clojure is not a Lisp.

Typing ``LISP'' is the biggest faux pas in the Lisp world, and immediately reveals that you are not one of us.

Has anyone here been able to get a NUE TAO environment working on x86 by emulation or otherwise?

Retard. From `Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I':

A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) has been developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T.

I thankful for nothing. The programming enslaves me and I hate it. There is to much to do, to many programs to write. And I've you finish a project, it can always be improved somehow. Nothing is ever perfect. Satori expands the mind so much that you see the walls of the infinite prison you are in, but you are just as powerless to escape as the FIOCista. Get out of my head, fucking machines, leave me alone!

I thankful for nothing

Typical Russian.

I'm thankful for Haskell, for the GHC team, and for the ability to use Haskell in production.

I am thankful for the opportunity to canned-ham this board with memes of Mentifex Strong AI from http://ai.neocities.org/AiSteps.html and other meme-sites.
I am thankful for living well on the bottom rung of Amerioan society by riding busses and picking up coins at drive-thru's in between busses and eating super-cheap off coupon$.
I am thankful for the daily bachelor party from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the local University Coffee Shop where the most beautiful demoiselles de tout le monde listen to my smattering of Japanese and Russian and French and German and make up for my lifelong bachelor loserdom with their AI-stealing wiles.
I am thankful for the weird but sweet sequence of events two weeks ago on sat.7.mar.2015 that landed me in the greatest robotics video at

Mispent youth. Get out of this rut while you still can.

You haven't written anything for half a year, Stan

I like you, Mentifex, but you need to make a fucking change in how you live your life.
