     @meso @binkle Is it? Tbh as much as I dislike the current crop of Apple hardware, their middle PowerPC era stuff was unironically the best non-braindamaged consumer hardware you could get and even thru much of the Intel era it was still solid.

     @jihadjimmy @binkle @meso The turning point was iOS and the Intel transition, until then they were actually pretty solid due to the third party ecosystem surrounding them. Macintosh Common Lisp in particular is something which doesn't have any true equivalents even to this day.

     @jihadjimmy @binkle @meso "why would I care about mcl" because it's a high quality common lisp ide that doesn't require me to invest a billion dollars into buying alpha hardware for open genera and/or deal with the never ending autism pit that is gnu emacs? objective c isn't that bad either although xcode and everything around that is pure dogwater.

     True, it has something better, called EMACS LISP.
     
     Jokes aside, why the fuck would you care about stuff like MCL or Objective C unless you're a soulless Crapple soydev?
