Curiously, while certainly full of innocence, I think in some ways it may
have been less Eden-like and more an antagonistic response to the Great
Adversary, deliberately going in a direction opposite to Multics’s concerns

work for the FOSS movement. Via bits of history in which Lisp (mostly
pre-Common) is heavily involved.
