Web-Lisp? Oh no!

Moon hacked up a simple Lisp-based TeX-equivalent around 1979-80 time
frame.  I think that some of the earliest SMBX docs were written in
it.  It ran in Maclisp on the SMBX Foonly (pdp10 emulator).  It was
slow as sh*t, because it ran completely interpreted (I think), and it
was running on a really slow machine.  I don't know what happened to
that program, or even what it was called.
