That mid-90s trend of embedding Lisp/Tcl everywhere was special. Everyone understood: give users a real language, not just config files. Emacs, GIMP, Abuse, AutoCAD - all bet on "let users program it." Now we have YAML and JSON configs. Progress? Part of why I built this: if AutoLISP becomes truly undead inside AutoCAD, at least the workflow and playground can live on independently in the browser.
