@interlisp ☝️ A vertical scroll bar at the left edge of a window. Wait, what?

@amoroso @interlisp It was also present in Plan 9 glenda I loved the left-side scrollbar so much that I've adopted it and still use it today.

@amoroso @interlisp left scrollbars were a thing on #lispmachine systems. Genera image attached. Probably something where the MIT Lisp Machine was inspired by Interlisp-D or Smalltalk?

@symbolics I'd say the common ancestor was Smalltalk or some other Alto software.

@amoroso @interlisp Now I’m wondering about scroll bars for languages that read right to left. 🤯
