I'm not the author of this mode, but I somehow took over maintainership
(more or less) and did some contributions to the mode (in my github repo
tj64: https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-mode).

But I have no idea who added this as an elpa package (elpa or melpa?)

I think only diffing the various versions can help to find out, which
one is the newest. IIRC Alex simply added new versions of the mode to
the picolisp distribution, when I sent them to him once in a while. But
for a long time, I did not touch these libraries anymore.

Oh! Haven't been there yet, I'm here in Shiojiri.. wow! these are cool FPGA's 
indeed! but hmm looks like it doesn't have the necessary device inorder to have 
PilMCU running.The requirement for PilMCU system is a ROM, RAM and SSD.

Cool! This is indeed better coz it's open source! My Quartus II is just the 
free version.. this would be indeed a great alternative and maybe a better 
solution?

Thanks! I hope it can attract some backers soon ;)

In any case, your board is really great work and definitely has a lot of 
potential.
