To top it all off, Lisp is the dominant language for AI, my specific area of interest. == ~~C++~~Text-based languages == I used to use various text-based languages such as C++, JavaScript, PHP, and Perl, however, after using Lisp for a while I can no longer stand them. Even when I use things like Prolog and data formats like CSS and XML, I just embed them in Lisp. Now all I use Lisp. I use C++ not because I like it (who could possibly like this bloated piece of ...) but rather because of its popularity and its use in important open source projects like [http://opencog.org/ OpenCog]. == Lisp Machines == Unfortunately, I no longer have a working Lisp machine, so I am stuck using the crappy existing operating systems. When I write code for an OS, I want that OS to have features such as a persistent single address space, introspection, logging, and reflectivity. As it is I have to spend a huge chunk of my time handling poor operating system design. It also just so happens that mainstream operating systems are programmed in crappy languages such as C, which I won't dare touch, so I can't hack on them either. The only solution that I see is to work to reconstruct the glory of the Lisp machines on modern hardware.
