Marvin Minsky - The Beauty of the Lisp Language

123 2020-10-10 19:46

In before someone rants about LISP machines and C Processing Units:
Processor features are always dependent on software demands,
if LISP features were actually dependent on hardware
LISPers would program FPGAs and create a consumer demand for such CPUs with LISP-centric features, like Forth did with various forth processors/boards.
Why no FPGA-based LISP machines to demonstrate how superior LISP is ? Tensor Processing Units exist to solve Neural Networks faster.
If there is a way to throw hardware at the problem, why they stopped with LISP machines?
