Really fun talk and meeting with the LispNYC meetup group, made some new friends, got lots of good ideas and feedback on ways to make the project better. Thank you all !
2020 and 2021 have been busy years, but MakerLisp Language and Machine Development Continues
We are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kiva, a "micro-finance" platform, in order to support our effort to achieve FDA authorization - this is not a donation, it's a loan - you can lend as little as $25, and you get paid back, a little every month. Please check out our campaign . Thanks !
Lately I've been spending almost all my time creating an open source ventilator, the "MakerVent Model T" . Of course contact me as usual for MakerLisp product information and support.
CP/M 2.2 is ported and released for the MakerLisp Machine ! Download the release notes and archive.

I was in Gouda, NL, for the Nuttx 2019 International Nuttx Workshop: https://nuttx2019.org Nuttx is a Unix-like, real-time embedded OS, which has a great following, including makers of robotic vehicles. Nuttx has booted and run on the MakerLisp Machine, a supported port will be available soon !
