   When the Star Citizen kickstarter was announced I put about 35 dollars into it because why not? I'd get the game, and if the project failed I wouldn't have lost much.

   What I didn't expect was to still be getting progress updates mailed to me over a decade later.

   I wonder if anyone has compared it to Hurd. Someone really should because it's on that level.

     @larsbrinkhoff You mean teak? I mean, I'd love to see that too, but at least they haven't claimed it's actually an active project, much less posting regular progress reports. 🙂

     @loke I'm still waiting for GNU's Lisp-based window system.

     @loke @larsbrinkhoff That reminds that I think Sawfish (Gnome 1.x WM), while not in any meaningful way Lisp, had sexpr configuration files.

     @larsbrinkhoff I'm not sure a single line of code was written on it, but it was supposed to be gule based. It died once Gnome became a thing.

     @loke I don't know about teak, but there was one promised in the GNU manifesto 40 years ago.
