Hi, As an Emacs user, it would be nice to have Picolisp package in Debian updated. I use Emacs but I've tweaked some other lisp libs. I don't use MELPA either. Kind regards, Manu El mar., 22 ene. 2019 a las 10:20, Jean-Christophe Helary (< brandel...@gmail.com>) escribió: > > > On Jan 22, 2019

I'm working with picolisp and emacs, also using the older picolisp-mode which comes with the picolisp distribution (the official upstream one from http://software-lab.de/down.html). I greatly enjoy using paredit, which works well. I have not tried out the other emacs modules for picolisp, and I

2019-01-22 Thread Henry Baker
MicroPython (micropython.org) is apparently an implementation of Python intended for *bare metal* implementations. Is PicoLisp aiming for some of the same applications? -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

well there is MicroPicoLisp which aims for the low ram embedded space. PicoLisp itself depends on some Unix abstractions which are not present in all systems but MicroPicoLisp should be fine.   Ursprüngliche Nachricht   Von: hbak...@pipeline.com Gesendet: 23. Januar 2019 01:06 An: picolisp@soft
