I'm generally shocked that people aren't profoundly shocked and saddened by what has been lost with these kind of "modifiable while running" systems like Xerox Alto and the Lisp Machines.
Modern software frameworks are so shockingly bad and uninteractive that we now have to rely another layer of bullshit with LLMs just to get us to be half as productive as these envs. : (
(okay okay REPL-based things are getting better, but still nowhere close to what Lisp even w/ Emacs can do.)
