Good comment. Reminded me of something I'm really hoping to see come out of the arduino/raspberryPi/Beaglebone movement is a fresh look at a LISP machine. Given how cheap a computer is now, what's stopping the existence of a simarlarly size and priced Alpha-based chipset that can run OpenGenera or other LISP machine?

I bit off topic, but the Smalltalk guys are doing exactly that.
