having said that, it would have made a lot more sense to have created the tensorflow interface in some kind of lisp variant instead of python.

machine code is imperative. higher level languages that aren't are just scripting an imperative code generator.

I just watched a 13 minute video to understand what a lisp machine actually does and now I want to kill myself.

because it's an improvement on its successors, right?

I seriously have never seen a lisp machine before so I didn't know how it worked. it's definitely old-world shared memory mentality that seems bizarre in a protected memory world.

many years ago I applied for an internship at a company that did graphics software. they were using lisp on SGI machines. you will be surprised to hear that they stopped existing a few years later.

I didn't get the job

was it Nichimen N-World, which became Winged Edge Mirai, which is now Izware Mirai? because that would have been pretty cool, their code is derived from the original Symbolics S-Graphics suite which Nichimen (a big Symbolics graphics customer) bought when Symbolics was in bankruptcy and ported from ZetaLisp on Genera to Common Lisp on Irix

I've actually started to look into the current state of those assets, they'd be great to obtain and release to the public in some way

yes. wow, I had completely forgotten the name. it was Nichimen Graphics. and I was clearly not qualified for the job at the time being a dumbass kid in my first few college years.
