Anyone interested in the computing holes that can be filled by lisp machines should check out Urbit. There is an vibrant and growing community of people building a network of personal servers running a lisp-like functional OS. It uses an identity system secured by the Ethereum blockchain and it has created a bottom up economic incentive for developers to participate. They are starting to solve unique problems that couldn't be addressed on currently prevalent platforms. Urbit is an affirmation; we can ditch the nihilism.

i associate lisp machines with power, simplicity, and a delightfully shallow learning curve.

urbit to me is exactly the opposite

And it's 4x more expensive than it was supposed to be to buy a planet.

Ethereum was a mistake.

Since they moved to Layer 2 it has been amazing. No eth fees anymore.

They should just move to their own chain entirely. Maybe this is a baby step towards that. Each Galaxy/Star is already basically a staker in a Proof of Stake network.

if they were on their own POS chain, they wouldn’t need to charge anything. it is just in the galaxy/stars best interest to maintain the ledger of activity.

galaxies/stars can just charge for services provides like an ISP basically
