asciilifeform: tarver had an open source crackpot lisp system for a decade or so, then quit in disgust, then opened some commercial thing
mircea_popescu: who is "mark tarver" anyway.
asciilifeform: jurov: unfortunately it was tarver, not i, who 'reductio ad microsoftium' -- literally! http://shenlanguage.org/professional.html << his turd requires winblows.
asciilifeform: on the other hand, if tarver - or anybody 'open source has failed!111' else - thinks that i am going to build anything whatsoever on top of his closed turd, he is smoking dope.
