Learning Lisp

Hello, I am new to PicoLisp and Lisp in general. I know that PicoLisp is not Common Lisp and is much closer to the original Lisp. However it seems most books are Common Lisp oriented. While browsing Amazon I was wondering if any of these books might be good to get a good understanding of

Yes, it is 64 bit. This is strange. I did the same thing for the one I downloaded which identifies itself as 17.5.16. I entered the src directory and did make. I then went to the src64 directory and did make. I did this for both 16.12 and the 17.5.16. I thought I was using the 64bit

Re: Learning Lisp

Hello, I have successfully installed PicoLisp in my ~/Dev/PicoLisp directory. I have also made the symlinks for a global install in XUbuntu 17.04. I have also made the symlinks for libncurses. I have also installed Vip so that I can learn it along with PicoLisp. However, I am having problems
