FOSSY 2026 - Part 2
@afewbugs thank you so much!
@simon_brooke Is Interlisp a Lisp-1? From the Interlisp site:
Like Common Lisp but unlike Scheme, Interlisp is a LISP-2 language. This means, in part, that the namespace for variables is separate from the namespace for functions. For example, in Interlisp and Common Lisp, you can simultaneously have a variable named
ABCand a function namedABCthat are unrelated.

@amoroso @vnikolov @screwlisp @kentpitman @nosrednayduj was that new in Medley? It's so long ago I don't recall. My memory is that InterLisp was a Lisp1, and that the fight over Lisp2 was mainly about trying to block InterLisp. But my memory is not 100% reliable these days.

"…the #ActivityPub API is one of the most promising areas of #innovation for #thefediverse. This #standardization effort around the client-to-server specification profile of the #W3C ActivityPub recommendation allows a further decoupling of client and server software.
…
Unfortunately there is no real consensus on what the #ActivityPubAPI should offer, and there is little coordination between stakeholders, in true grassroots fashion."
