No, it's not! When you ignore "us standards", you not only can build your complete IT infrastructure with PicoLisp, but you also get access to the complete, compact, well written, maintainable source code with it.
And if you really need security, you have a good chance to get a complete security review through within just a few days invested. Compare to the giant codebase of e.g. node.js ... code hell! Not the slightest chance to do code reviews. Simply impossible. At the moment, we (all countries globally) are at a point to say 'goodbye' to U.S. software, hardware in general. U.S.A. and U.S. companies are no longer reliable partners to setup an industry / finance / production business upon. See Huawei case. Here, Alex with PicoLisp, Mike Pall with LuaJIT and Frank Lesser with Lesser Smalltalk JIT (all german guys) suddenly start to play a strategic role in German IT Industry. And perhaps we must step back a bit, move to much smaller frameworks, which deliver sufficient performance on slower, smaller hardware with much smaller memory footprint running on much less energy consuming hardware. We must think faster now, new directions are to be decided ...
