Is there a version of this document that is updated a bit?  I mean,
we know about garbage collection these days.  Clicking on director names
to see what's inside is also not too new.   How does it compare to a
modern Lisp system running on a modern OS?

More specific question: how is security achieved, when everything's
open, and communciation is done through unrestricted, shared objects?
The reasons given doesn't sound very convincing, looking from a
malicious user perspective.
