NW-LISP

Brief overview

A lisp system that runs on UNIX and will maybe boot itself one day

Goals:

• Make a working LISP OS
• Simplicity
• Learning

Non goals:

• Mass driver support
• "Modern web"
• speed

Things it does

• LISP based on lisp9
• neoftech rip off
• Fun user profile stuff
• Really crappy text editing
• Really crappy man pages

Things it will do

• boot itself
• GUI based on plan9 draw
• Remote logins
• Bearable text editing
• A bunch of silly programs

How to build

if you really want to build it: Just run make

How to run

./ls9 start.ls9 starts in the main big daddy REPL ./ls9 -b gives the lame sauce C REPL
