Re: What would a modern LispOS look like?

I don't think so... Why care about C if you have a machine dedicated to
Lisp?

Let me quote from here: http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200302/msg00646.html

The problem was that one machine started at $40K
and they ran up to $150K or so, but they weren't
servers. They were workstations for individual programmers.
Sun was still on the Sun 2 or 3, but they were getting
faster and people were saying Lisp could run almost
fast enough on them. Meanwhile Symbolics delivered
a full C interpreter(!) where you could modify code in
the debugger and resume with new variables defined
or even new functions. C on a LISP machine is a hard
sell.

ok, an interpreter ;)
