I periodically get interested in running Genera, but it always seems
like there's some reason I can't get it going -- the latest being that
it appears the VLM depended on some buggy X behavior which has been
fixed in more recent releases?

Anyway, I'm curious as to who's running Genera/OpenGenera these days,
what they're running it on, and what they're doing with it. Is the CL
implementation sufficiently complete that it can run modern code that
was developed on e.g. SBCL, or is it a little too old and crufty?

If anybody's doing interesting stuff on other lisp machine environments
like Medley, I'd also love to hear about that!

I use Medley as my primary Lisp environment for hobby programming. So
far I wrote these small Interlisp programs in various stages of
development:

Stringscope: string listing tool
https://github.com/pamoroso/stringscope

Femtounit: unit test framework
https://github.com/pamoroso/femtounit

Sysrama: documentation tool
https://github.com/pamoroso/sysrama

Braincons: Brainfuck implementation
https://github.com/pamoroso/braincons

Now I'm exploring developing Common Lisp code on Medley.
