Did you use LFG Grammar Writer's Workbench for linguistics work or research back then? Ron Kaplan is looking to revive the system and make it run on Medley Interlisp again.
The tests against Seibel's book were meant as a quick way of assessing the major differences with ANSI. But books like this are also a way of exercising the part of the language that is used in practice. We do mean to follow up with more in depth investigations, such as running a test suite like Dietz's.
Volume I of the Medley LOOPS series about the Lisp Object-Oriented Programming System, an Interlisp object extension. Volume II is coming in the late fall of 2024, Volume III in the fall of 2025.
You're welcome. Although the manuscript was circulated internally for feedback over tha past few months, we published it to the Medley Interlisp Project website only a few days ago.
One year ago or so one of my posts ended up within the first few items of the home page and my blog got about 35K views over 2 days. The blog is hosted on a commercial platform and had no server issues.
Stars, forks, algorithmic rankings, or other popularity metrics are actually the least important things for me. Assuming a project does what I need, what I'm interested in is the availability of good documentation, how understandable the code is, when was the project last updated, and other clues that have little to do with popularity.
For a complex project it can be hard to go through the codebase. I have seen many projects where the development is active and the docs looms good but are quickly become outdated because of low usage.
I'm a hobby programmer with no production requirements, so I often use projects maintained by only one developer who may not be much active if all all. Also, since I program in Lisp, code updated a few years ago may still be good.
