Dominic Robinson pointed the Skate project out to me. It’s an attempt to recreate SK8, which was a Lisp based RAD development environment developed by Ruben Kleiman at Apple’s Advanced Technology Group - very cool.
Another friend, Royston Sellman, worked on this whilst he was at ATG, and it’s something that I had access to whilst at ULTRALAB. Given my long standing interest in developing a new authoring environment, I’m pretty keen to follow this project’s progress, and maybe even try to get involved.
Not sure about making it Lisp based though - I’d much prefer Dylan myself (stop groaning in the back there).
