      Ah yeah, it’s mostly programming related, but I haven’t been very active with the blogging of late.

      I definitely agree that we’ve regressed in many ways since the days of LISP machines and Smalltalk. You’re absolutely correct that the cost of LISP machines was a big factor. Very few people got to experience these kinds of interactive environments, while most people got experience on consumer grade hardware that was very limited. Languages like Fortran and C made sense in this context because you wanted to have a very thin level over machine code to get the most out of the hardware. A whole generation of programmers got trained in this environment and went to teach new generations. Now, we’re finally rediscovering these things.
