I haven't seen Lone Lisp before. Is it meant to be like a Symbolics Lisp Machine, where the entire userspace is lisp?
I really like using generators in typescript. They make a lot of problems much easier.

The idea is to create a language good enough to build a Lisp user space for Linux. I didn't dare to call it a lisp machine at first but other users suggested that when it was first submitted here on HN. Here's the discussion:

I'm doing some plumbing work on lone right now, then I'll start designing the iterator protocol. Gotta fix some usability details in the generators to make them more pleasant to use but I'm really proud of the fact that they even work at all. I'll read about typescript generators and try to understand what makes them great to use.
