"Lisping at the JPL" is one of my favourite stories (all-time favourite, not just computery favourite).

> Debugging a program running on a $100M piece of hardware that is 100 million miles away is an interesting experience. Having a read-eval-print loop running on the spacecraft proved invaluable in finding and fixing the problem. The story of the Remote Agent bug is an interesting one in and of itself.

If you haven't heard it before, i'd recommend checking out this podcast episode - it's fantastic. https://corecursive.com/lisp-in-space-with-ron-garret/

I've heard it and I agree! Thanks for the re-up. Might give it a listen again :)
