Hi Bruno, 1. mutability. Operations like 'cut' alter the contents of their argument(s). So, it is very important to understand that in PicoLisp 'functions' often are not functions in the mathematical sense, because there arguments would never be changed by a function. For e.g. a Scheme programmer this can be a real pitfall; in Scheme they often use a ! (like 'set!') in the name of a 'destructive' operation.
2. naming of functions. I often have trouble finding the operation (function) I need, because the naming is not so obvious (at least for me :). With good examples this could be cleared up a bit. 3. concise examples are needed. Only explain one concept at a time; not too much at once :) Thanks for your efforts!
