funny.. i've started gazing at picolisp again because my balls starting to be full with javascript. we are actually building an ERP system in nodejs + angularjs using the convergent terminology shared at http://oagi.com but it's just so fucking painful… :( we tried to build it by doing the "write tests first" approach, using vowsjs and following the structural recommendations of the gherkin "business requirement specification language", but writing functional tests which are synchronous by nature is just not fun if u have to do structure them using nested callbacks… (no, vows-bdd just didnt work for me, although i tried) so now i have a "gherkin runner" i wrote in rebol (<10k), but having the business documents defined in javascript, where u dont even have basic stuff like object copy and object extension, but u still have to transform these into each other… well, it's pathetic. i've decided to take a break from this project (if anyone interested continuing, my position is open, pls contact me!), but if we can explore this topic using picolisp, i would like to help out.
