Oh no, I installed the Medley Interlisp system on my laptop because I've been following @amoroso for too long! πŸ˜…

The first goal is to have a retro-computing environment that can be useful. As far as I can tell, the documentation buttons open links in the browser outside (!) the Medley Interlisp system, i.e. I can read the documentation on my default browser.

The second goal is to have a Lisp machine where everything is Lisp. I mean, I guess I usually treat Emacs as a Lisp machine.

I feel a bit of that Plan 9 energy, but from a different planet.

@bouncepaw It is. But what's even cooler is one of the lead developers is now in the Medley team.

NoteCards is a major pre-web hypermedia system, see:

@amoroso just linked to a paper describing the NoteCards application and when I started reading it, this jumped out to me: β€œNoteCards is currently being used by more than 50 people engaged in idea processing tasks ranging from writing research papers through designing parts for photocopiers.”

More than 50 people! Those were indeed very different times.
