Sorry to have caused you pain!

I thought this video would get maybe 100 view at most, or I would have put more effort into it (like implemented paren matching in the editor first).

I like lisp (and apparently it's good HN bait). But the language is not really the core of this project.

It is more about making a truly personal computer. One that doesn't require you to think about charging or software updates. That is always fast and responsive and ready to use as it is never doing something strange in the background. Simple enough for me to feel like I understand how everything works.

And writing your own OS for it is easy if you wanted to - you could implement forth, lua, a small C compiler - whatever you wish, and these properties would still be preserved.

Useful? Probably not. Fun? At least for me it is.

Your project is really admirable (I'd like to make a tiny computing machine and a full computing stack myself at some point), and having fun is a sound reason to use Lisp :)

It was just me and my pet peeve that Lisps stopped being a superpower decades ago.
