@symbolics I've see records of a purchase of a Xerox Interlisp D-machine by an Italian research institution in the late 1980s. The price tag, which included WAN connectivity and support, was eye watering.

Had some pretty extensive implementation ideas in my head for a Tapestry feature for months now. Was excited to finally get started on it.
Woke up feeling like all the ideas are sus and will be a disaster.
My brain isn't playing fair here.

@amoroso They were also not widely available. They were very very expensive and I doubt that more than 10k of these machines were ever sold. The hardware was expensive, but the software was also very expensive. The early competition were UNIX Lisp systems like Allegro CL, Lucid CL and then LispWorks. But they and the hardware for them was also expensive (memory). Government money feeded the bubble. Later, after the AI crash a lot of the remaining applications were ported to C++.
