Thanks for your quick reply... Is there a guide explaining major differences between Common Lisp & PicoLisp ? I guess, reading your answer , that there 's no just a few syntactic differences between the 2 dialects ... I can read between the lines some philosophical major differences , right? What are the most difficult tasks , hot topics to be aware of when porting a software from CL to PicoLisp ? Because I won't be able to reinvent all wheels in a few weeks so I imagined to port some existing libraries to PicoLisp to have a fully complete stack for my requirements...
