Hi, Grant!

98% of the work I did is visible in
https://github.com/fractalide/racket2nix/ and
https://github.com/fractalide/fractalide/ and most of my contribution
was in racket2nix -- that repo is basically all me.

If you haven't heard about Nix, that is also a functional programming
language, but one used exclusively for defining software packages and
computer systems. Racket2nix takes racket packages and turn them into
Nix derivations (packages), so that you can build them more or less
deterministically and combine them with any other form of software.

Fractalide is about implementing Flow-Based Programming[0] in Racket
and Rust. Work has slowed for the moment, and I am doing other things
in my paid time, but I am still making improvements to racket2nix in
my spare time, and I have some stuff coming for fractalide as well,
just as soon as I've finished shaving the current yaks in racket2nix.

So I haven't done anything in "production" if that means web services
or user-facing GUI software. racket2nix is a command-line tool, and
I'm very happy with how command-line parsing works in Racket.
fractalide does some UI stuff, but I haven't used Racket's facilities
directly, I created a proof-of-concept prototype application using the
FBP framework that a colleague created as part of Fractalide. From
what I saw behind the scenes though, I can say that Racket is a very
good choice for creating an X11/macOS/Windows native-looking GUI
application.

As another young person (maybe even younger than you) i can only recommend

your skills by self cultivation.
I had the biggest insights about the nature of picolisp when i tried to

Probably not to that extend. As "real" books there is only PicoLisp-Works and
PicoLisp-by-Example by Thorsten Jolitz (perhaps a bit outdated by now).

The online references of PicoLisp try to cover the fundamental concepts in
http://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html, and also some of the more advanced levels.

This question comes up relatively often. So I must say that despite I do not
have a deeper knowledge of NewLisp, from what I read I do not think that it
should be called a Lisp.

It is more a scripting language with Lisp syntax. Its internals, memory model
and behavior are different from what I expect from a Lisp: There are no
cons-cells, no bignums, no garbage collection, no sharing of (sub)lists, no
circular structures - in my opinion the things which make up the real power of
Lisp. Even multiple variables pointing to the same object are not allowed.

An advantage of NewLisp is that it runs also on Windows, while PicoLisp requires
a POSIX compatible system.

Hi dean,

Welcome!

I would probably do this:

: (in '(ls) (make (until (eof) (link (line T)
-> ("app" "bin" "CHANGES" "COPYING" "CREDITS" "cygwin" "db2" "dbg"
"dbg.l" "dev" "doc" "doc64" "ersatz" "ext.l" "games" "img" "INSTALL"
"lib" "lib.css" "lib.l" "loc" "man" "misc" "picoblogorg" "pil" "plmod"
"rcsim" "README" "simul" "src" "src64" "test")

Some comments:

pil makes it easy to experiment. I would first start with this experiment:

: (in '(ls) (line T))
-> "app"

We see that it returns a single item. So, we want to build a list of
multiple items. An efficient way to do this is with make/link. We can
loop until eof using (until (eof))

Hope this helps!
Joe

RE: Subscribe

[andreas]

Hi Dean

Welcome to the picolisp community.

When using (in (list)) you don't need to use (call), the content of the list 
argument to (in) get directly passed to the command line.

So try:  (in (list 'ls) (line T))
this is the same as: (in '(ls) (line T)

This way you only read the first line of stdout from the called program ls.
You can use (make) and (link) to build a list, e.g.

(setq FileList
   (make
  (in (list 'ls)
  (while (line T)
 (link @) ) ) ) )

(make) returns a list which is here saved in the variable FileList.

You can view FileList by just entering the name of the variable in the REPL

Hi Anik

Welcome to the picolisp mailing list.
First, LISP itself is a "normal" language in the sense that everything you can 
do in other languages, you can also do in LISP.
Technically, some stuff is easier expressed with a LISP language than a C-like 
language, while C-like languages usually give more ways to restrict the usage 
of your code for other programmers (which might be useful for BigCorp with many 
devs).

There are many different flavours of LISP, which have some things in common 
(making them all LISPS, e.g. the S-expression syntax), but they can be 
radically different.
Picolisp is a rather special lisp, because it is interpreter-only (no 
compiler), makes use of F-expressions (functions with unevaluated arguments) 
which came out of fashion for most lisp languages long ago, and above all 
picolisp is radically simple and succinct.
Additionally picolisp is quite small for an interpreter and performance can be 
better than compiled binaries of other languages (e.g. see 
http://kazimirmajorinc.com/Documents/The-speed-of-eval-in-some-Lisp-implementations/index.html
 ).

Check out this interactive explanation of picolisp philosophy: 
http://picolisp.com/tractatus

Currently, picolisp is probably mainly used for web applications and scripting 
(e.g. instead of bash).
Some people use it for embedded programming or for teaching programming.
You can use it for everything really, though interfacing with another 
application/system might need some extra work as there probably isn't a 
ready-made solution available for your specific use case.
Lisp and even more picolisp gives you the power to develop problem-tailored 
solutions quickly and easily.

I use picolisp mainly because of the quick development time, short code and the 
absolute awesome integrated database.
Also, picolisp is very stable and tested tech, unlike e.g. node.js and co.

Drop by in IRC on #picolisp on freenode.org if you like.

Yes. It is as useful or useless as any other programming language.
PicoLisp is especially useful if you want to express complicated things

From the prompt ...-imac: I guess that you are running this on a

compiling PicoLisp on the Mac recently. I myself don't have a Mac,  
so I

cannot be of much help. But other people here in the mailing list
reported problems, too.

These problems seem to be related to the loading of shared object  
files.
In the case of the HTTP server, this is probably lib/ht (compiled  
from

src/ht.c). I'm still hoping somebody with a Mac could debug this and
send me information about what exactly goes wrong. What we observed so
far is that after loading such a shared lib parts of the memory seem  
to

be trashed.

It could be a problem of the right compiler and/or linker flags in
Makefile. These changed frequently on the Mac, most notably the
ominous

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.???

where nobody seems to know what exactly needs to be used here.

Do you think you can find out more?

Many thanks,

Hmm, does this really work? During 'http', the output is redirected to
the client (via the socket to the browser), so 'prinl' usually does  
not

work well because it intermixes its output with the HTML code.

You could use 'msg', as this will send its output to standard error.


Or, even better, use the 'trace' function, in the extreme by simply
tracing all Lisp level functions with 'traceAll':

  ./dbg lib/http.l lib/... -traceAll -'server ...'

'traceAll' traces only functions that are defined in Lisp. I would
suggest to trace also some primary functions, perhaps 'line':

  ./dbg ...  -traceAll  -trace 'line  -'server ...'

This will produce a lot of output. The interesting part will be near  
the

end, shortly before it crashes.

This function is defined in lib.l. Ususally it does not make much
sense to start the plain 'picolisp' executable alone. Better (as you  
did
above) use ./dbg, which also loads the basic environment and  
debugging

tools.

 I found the following (ht:Prin is used in xhtml:tag function:

 taoufik-dachraouis-imac:picoLisp taoufik$ ./dbg lib/http.l lib/xhtml.l  
 lib/form.l
 : (ht:Prin 3)
 3- Bus error

So this is exactly the case which I suspected: It crashes when calling a
DLL (shared object file) function.


 What are the functions prefixed with ht:?

This is a shared library in lib/ht. It is compiled from src/ht.c.

PicoLisp has a special mechanism: When a function is undefined, but
contains a colon, the interpreter tries to locate a shared lib given by
the part before the colon (here 'ht'), and searches for a function with
the remaining part (here 'Prin'). If it finds one, it defines the whole
symbol (here 'ht:Prin') to that function.

Then the code of 'Prin' is executed, after the library was loaded. Here
something goes wrong on the Mac.

The relevant code is in src/main.c, in the function 'sharedLib()'.
Basically, it does a 'dlopen()' on the library, and searches for the
function with 'dlsym()'. In that course, heap memory seems to be
destroyed.

Cheers,
- Alex

Hi John, Henrik,

  I wish I'd known about your website earlier. Perhaps Alex can link to
  it so it's more googleable?

You are right. Somehow I believed that I did that already, but it seems
I forgot to actually do it.

Are you sure? I'd expect that to happen if you use such links massively,
but not for a few dedicated links.

Hi Eugene.

1.) Why a secret? I once asked the same thing and Alex's answer was simply
that he hadn't spent much time promoting, I suppose he has enough clients
using Pico that he survives anyway :-). I'm trying though to bring it out in
the open more, as well as trying to make it less daunting for newbies, my
efforts starts here: http://www.prodevtips.com/2008/03/28/pico-lisp/

2.) With regards to other alternatives than the web GUI, AFAIK this is the
only discussion about this on the mail list so far:

Hi Alex,

I just discovered picolisp and must say how impressed and excited I am
about it;-)

What is the recommended way of deploying picolisp web apps?  I was
thinking having it behind nginx but I see that there are some
utilities in picolisp dealing with deployment and ssl, e.g. httpGate,
replica, watchdog... Is there any description on how to use these
utilities?

What are the rules/heuristics for splitting entities and relations
into database files?

Thank you,

Tomas
