Thinking about and researching Lisp Machines and Symbolics today.

  - **GNU Guix** written in Guile Scheme
  - [GNU Shepherd](https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/) init system
  - **Emacs** + Emacs packages to hack on Guix
  - [StumpWM](http://stumpwm.github.io/)

- turns out there exists [Mezzano](https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano) - An operating system written in Common Lisp
