Re: try picolisp

The 64 bit version of picolisp can be ported to any machine. There is an existing emulator that generates C code, another emulator that generated Javascript would be cool! -Michel On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 10:41 AM, Mike Pechkin mike.pech...@gmail.com wrote: hi, Is it hard to implement

Re: A pragmatic solution to using arrays in picolisp

Arrays are very useful for numeric computing over linked lists. Contiguous blocks of linear memory are much more efficient, improving on numeric density, cache occupancy, and being able to take advantage of specific CPU vector instructions. For GPU based computing, contiguous arrays are

Hi Eric, Here's a link to exactly what you need: https://github.com/michelp/0pl/blob/master/zmq/zctx.l#L5 There's a thread in the archives where Alexander explains it to me, unfortunately it's been a while I don't remember all the details myself... -Michel On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 10:00 AM,

Re: Differences of Stack and List data structures

This is not a PicoLisp specific question. I'm sure many of us here want to encourage your interest in general programming concepts, but there are much better venues for you to get answers to questions like this. For example, on youtube the Kahn Academy has excellent tutorials on programming,

Please do! It's a small community and sometimes might feel like you're talking to the walls, but we're paying attention. I myself almost never actually get to use picolisp, but I think it's an excellent example of simplicity and minimalism language design, and it actually brought me to become a

I'm not an expert on this, but doing a little digging I see some links on calculating utf-8 character sizes and it seems like a lookup table is not necessary: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-06-05-faster-utf8-strlen.html "by looking at the first byte of a multibyte character, we can

Re: webassembly as a new lisp :) ?

Interesting read thanks for pointing that out, a strange mashing of lisp syntax with forth semantics, like (func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32) get_local $lhs get_local $rhs i32.add) (get_local x) pushes one value onto the stack, and (i32.add) pops two and pushes

Re: Mac OS

PicoLisp works fine on OS X (on x86-64), you just have to build it from source using the instructions in the INSTALL file, I just verified it works well. Another option would be to use docker for mac and run the debian package in a container, but that would be slower than a native install.

Hi Abel, Great work, I'll give it a shot on pg 10 and 11 later today at work. As for the mailing lists, I'd start with pgsql-general mailing list before the -hackers list, the same core devs watch both lists so you'll get the same high grade advice. They'll let you know if you should promote
