For me, LispM was half-way down a world-falling-apart backwards-life nightmare. Something very vaguely like: It started happy with a "dancing code" dream, sort of group-collaborative VR-ish with AI. But became things-going-increasingly-badly, with (an old side project's) laptop with camera tracking, VR, and keyboard as multitouch surface, initially working well (mine didn't) but increasingly broken, with full-speed fan hiss (did). Then a hissing-vent MIT office with Symbolics but a space cadet keyboard - "I want this to be fun ... but it's so very clunky". Then IBM PC but C++ and sad baffled "it's not working?!?" no multiple dispatch (pet peeve). Then the hiss and "chunk, chunk chunk chunk" of a (high-school) IBM card punch - "I don't want to do this anymore". Sigh. Then waking up from the nightmare... but only part way. > GNU Mes For bro

> Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5 – John McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging transparency and Jeremiah Orians's stage0 ~500 byte self-hosting hex assembler. stage0 is one of mes' inspirations, so I'd say there's a level of connection there. Apparently mes is also working towards being able to be compiled by M2-Planet by the same author [0], at which point it might be possible to eventually build mes from stage0 as it can now bootstrap M2-Planet.
