Open Implementations

On: Ask Kent M. Pitman About Lisp, Scheme And More

What is your opinion of the idea of Open Implementations from Gregor Kiczales? Do you think that his idea could help Lisp be more widely used?

You can see him giving a lecture about this idea here. The video is only available in Windows Media format on this site.

What Unix could learn from other systems

On: ESR's Art of Unix Programming Updated

If you are interested in a different, but very well informed, view of the Unix development environment, check out Peter Deutsch's paper "UNIX Needs A True Integrated Environment: CASE Closed".

Deutch proposes ways that UNIX could have some of the advantages of the Lisp and Smalltalk environments that he worked on at PARC while still remaining Unix.
