Hi Konrad,
I was just wondering what the current status of 64 bit picolisp is.
The good news: It is under work since more than one year now :-)
The bad new: I'm afraid it will still take quite a while :-(
I do not want to go public with it before I'm sure that most details are
settled down.

Hi Konrad,
I;m on a 64 bit system which for the moment has prevented me from
trying out Thomas's Async read and write code. I'm working on a 32
bit chroot enviornment to run pico in for now, but it would be nice
to go native.
It should work even on 64 bit Linux without chroot environment.
Hi Alex,
It is a complete rewrite. Even the implementation language changed.
Instead of C it is written in a generic assembler (which in turn is
written in PicoLisp :) that generates GNU assembler code (currently
there is only a x86-64 generator, but other CPUs are possible).
I guess that
I suspect this would be in contradiction to some of the stated goals
of PicoLisp,
For one you would no longer be close to the machine. Just close to the
virtual machine.
