Hi list, Sounds like it's time to update the 'apt-get yourself some PicoLisp' section on the wiki, as this is no longer the best route for those new to the language.
To confirm, the best options seem to be: - pil64 for Android - Ersatz for Windows - Docker Image (Packaged PL + Tiny Core) - Build from source Please add if I'm missing anything. Now as far as trying PicoLisp goes, could we make a little app like http://www.tryclj.com? A sandboxed subset of PL where one could try out the language and maybe work through a short accompanying tutorial to give a taste of the language, before diving into the install process. I think this has been discussed before...? Also isn't there the Emulisp (PL in JS) REPL app? Could that be leveraged? Maybe this is a solution without a problem; I agree with others that most people discovering PL will likely be comfortable building from source, spinning up a VM, etc. Finally, a side note: I recently came across https://antergos.com. It's basically a graphical installer for Arch Linux. I gave it a try and found it to be as easy as installing Ubuntu... Click through the install wizard and ten minutes later you've got a full-blown Arch desktop environment (or base-install if desired) with built-in access to the AUR. The AUR has always been up to date (many thanks!) with the latest PicoLisp. Might be worth a mention? Erik
