So I'm listening to the SGU, and they are saying how VR can be good for exercise, which made me think that maybe I ought to get VR to make exercising inside during the winter easier. (I find it very hard to motivate myself to use my exercise bike, even though I have it for that purpose.) Then I thought about the expense of VR and how I'd probably want to play games that I create on it, and so that made me think of the difficulties of that. I was also concerned that I could only really be moving my arms around, rather than my legs, which I felt was a problem. Eventually it occured to me that what I could do is write a game for Android, and have my walking speed be used to navigate around a virtual world. That way, unlike VR, I could do it outside as well as inside. I was then pondering about the sort of games to write for it, and I hit upon the idea of having a 3d programming language on the Android that uses my walking to navigate around the 3d space to code in the 3d language to program my game in.

It was great pleasure that I discovered that one of my favourite programming languages families, Forth, has an implementation on the subleq architecture.
It was to my great disappointment and displeasure that I discovered that I couldn't find my favourite programming language family, Lisp, implemented on the subleq architecture.
Neither in subleq assembly or, preferably, a self-hosting Lisp implementation. All I could find was a recommendation by Richard James Howe himself to use a subleq C compiler to compile a Lisp implemented in C to get a Lisp implementation on subleq.
This will not do!
This will not stand!
(If I am wrong, and there is a Lisp implementation, as I desire above, that I missed in my web searches, please let me know.)
