I'm told that *Lisp was a follow-on that was less ambitious but easier to implement on the Connection Machine. AFAIK *Lisp was used for real programming and CMLisp wasn't.
I see.
There is a *Lisp simulator in Common Lisp in the CMU AI Repository, but I haven't looked at it closely.
Yeah me neither. But perhaps I should, if only to see if there's anything worth stea... borrowing for my own endeavors. ;)
They also made a *C language.
:( Kould we please abolish the See-family of languages and get bak to Kommon Lisp? ;)
P.S., I registered this list on Gmane as gmane.lisp.eurolisp.
Ah cool.
(very excited to see Data Parallel style ride again. Maybe I'll get a chance to use it some day :-))
I second that emotion. :) Although for me, "excited to see Data Parallel style ride again" really equates to being "excited that perhaps you won't have to be actively searching anymore in order to find out that there are other ways to do parallelism than with shared-memory and locks".
Kind regards,
