    > cl-series generates native common lisp code by working at macro expansion time

    That is, at compile time.
    And even more significantly than native, it's _iteratively efficient_ in many important cases.

    It seems a pity that Series didn't make it into the standard (yes, there were reasons for that).
    Almost made it (made it to one of the two appendices of CLtL2, the second edition of Steele's book).

    brouhaha@mastodon.social> The PDP-10 most certainly DOES have addressable bytes. That's the subject of section 2.3 of the System Reference Manual.

    I'm just a little bit curious about your definition of _addressable byte_.

    PDP-10 doesn't have addressable bytes.

    @amszmidt The 1980s are a decade in which numerous discussion were already taking place on what emacs (in the generic sense) is or isn't (some of them fairy heated).
    They may have started even before 1980 and they continued after 1989, of course.
    I am sure enough samples are easy to find in various archives and I am sure many of them are still worth reading.

    @amszmidt That is neither the meaning of 'this "discourse"' nor of '1980s'.

    @amszmidt
    Most importantly, the statement "Emacs is a virtual lisp machine" is metaphorical more than it is technical.
    And then "Emacs" unqualified means GNU Emacs by default.
    But this "discourse" has been conducted (and recorded for the proverbial diligent reader 🙂) very extensively since about the 1980s.

    @Zenie @oantolin @amszmidt
    Indeed.
    It is worth repeating what has long been pointed out: Emacs is _a virtual lisp machine_ with diverse capabilities, including (but emphatically not limited to) very extended editing capabilities.
    It is priceless to have the confidence and the ability to automate operations unforeseen by the creators of Emacs.
