Editing Genera (operating system) (section)

== Highlights ==
* Genera is written fully in Lisp, using ZetaLisp and Symbolics Common Lisp, including all low-level system code, such as device drivers, garbage collection, process scheduler, network stacks, etc.
* The source code is more than a million lines of Lisp, yet relatively compact, compared to the provided functions, due to extensive reuse. It is also available for users to inspect and change.
* The operating system is mostly written in an object-oriented style using Flavors, New Flavors, and CLOS
* It has extensive online documentation readable with the Document Examiner
* Dynamic Windows provides a presentation-based user interface
* The user interface can be used locally (on Lisp Machines and MacIvories) and remotely (using X11)
* Groups of developers can work together in a networked environment
* A central [[namespace]] server provides a directory of machines, users, services, networks, file systems, databases, and more
* There is little protection against changing the operating system. The whole system is fully accessible and changeable.
