Any chance of a resurgence in Lisp machines? Especially in view of the changes in CPU architecture due to semiconductor scaling challenges.

There is at least one current project - Mezzano -that boots a Common Lisp and some apps on bare metal.

But the Lisp Machines were more than Lisp on hw. They were about the software, the shell, the IDE. Some work was started more than 15 years ago to revive the CLIM API that made this possible and the original authors still work on it now. I'm really glad about this:
