Unfortunately, the lisp machine didn’t gain traction because the start-up times were so long and I believe this is due to it doing lots of internal checks which was awesome but unfortunately things like the Sun SPARCstation won because it was crazy fast although buggy

It really was. I forgot to mention in my comment that the sun machines were also really cheap so, you know, capitalism.
