UNIX still trying to catch up with Xerox workstations in the REPL experience, or general Lisp machines for that matter. Inline graphics from 1981, https://youtu.be/o4-YnLpLgtk?t=376

That's not 3d

The example on the linked video it isn't, correct.

Here is another video, this time with S-PACKAGE used to develop Nintendo 64.

Which given the REPL capabilities, you can easily embedd them on it, just like the other video.

People joke about templeos a lot, but it had some really neat ideas (holy-c is a pretty nice language)

It should have been HolyBasic. Mistyping a HolyC indirection in an editor causes the OS to crash.

We would still have an issue with bad POKEs though.

Or TempleOS.

I've dug around the TempleOS codebase a bit, and while it certainly is impressive for a single guy's work, I think there's been an overcorrection where people act like Terry was some hyper genius instead of "a pretty smart guy".

I kind of got the impression that whenever Terry didn't know how to do something, he would just convince himself that that's not what God wanted anyway and stop doing it.

Mix this 3d graphics, with data science notebooks, with local LLMs, and perhaps an integrated coding harness, with visibility over your personal data and you’d have something absurdly good. This might overtake “a haiku+macOS mashup” as my idealised computing future.

At that point you've re-invented emacs.

well, almost. if emacs offers a graphical file manager i'll consider using it. this seems to be a start: https://github.com/emacs-eaf/eaf-file-manager. the file manager needs to also integrate with a terminal though so i can run unix commands in the same directory. and it needs to support mouse-based operations too. finally, and that's the real kicker, i'd like a better integration of the terminal output and the graphical display by supporting the passing of structured data that the display knows how to handle without terminal escape codes. those need to go away. (which is why sixels are not a solution either)

How long until we have a web browser in a terminal (not just Lynx, but a full on web browser)?

there was a project that rendered firefox to the terminal through box drawing characters. When libweb is more complete I kinda want to do something similar
