It can observe, self-modify, discover, introspect its own code, its live state and what it's doing. This lets Autolith adapt to the user's preferences or to what is needed for the task. This may sound unstable, but Autolith creates generations of this image your or it can rollback to. Even a full frontal lobotomy is not a showstopper as AL will just reload into a recovery image and diagnose and optionally fix the issue. Autolith has a moderate focus on good ergonomics, good visuals, following XDG standards and similar, and minimal intrusiveness. It is not a "small game engine", but it is pretty close to a Lisp Machine. Autolith supports the following platforms - Linux (x86_64 + aarch64) - MacOS (x86_64 + aarch64) - FreeBSD (x86_64) - NetBSD (x86_64) - OpenBSD (x86_64) - Windows (x86_64) Adding more platform support is always welcome!

Nix packages are also available. On Linux, MacOS and the BSDs, the curl-into-sh installer installs or updates the packaged release for your platform. Inspect the [[https://sh.lambda-symbolics.com/autolith][installer script]] before piping it into a shell, or trust us with your life, hehe. #+BEGIN_SRC sh curl -fsSL https://sh.lambda-symbolics.com/autolith | sh #+END_SRC On Windows, download the x86-64 ZIP from the [[https://github.com/lambda-symbolics/autolith/releases/latest][latest release]], extract it into a writable folder, and run =.\bin\autolith.cmd= from PowerShell. Nix also supplies the complete runtime: #+BEGIN_SRC sh nix run github:lambda-symbolics/autolith #+END_SRC To build from a source checkout instead, follow the [[file:docs/guide.org][guide]]'s Source checkout section.
