> In The Amazing Digital Circus (episode 8, "hjsakldfhl"), when Kinger opens the terminal to try to reset Caine, you can see that Caine (a creative AI built in 1996) is programmed in Lisp. The file is literally named Caine-core.lisp.
Nice touch. Explains how Caine returns in episode 9: Lisp continuations allow for graceful error recovery.
- valorzard 25d agowasn't Caine written in common lisp? Pretty sure they show that the debugger they used in the command line was gdb (which ... is that even actually possible?)
- perrygeo 25d agoYep, `/usr/bin/gdb /usr/local/bin/clisp 1337` ... also in TADC lore, windows has forward slashes.
- GregBuchholz 25d agoWindows has allowed forward slashes for directory separators for a long time. Seems like maybe it started with DOS 2.0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash#Filenames https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash#Filenames
