I see, that make sense, thank you for the explanation. Hi Guido, > I meat: "0xE000 for everything, that must be persisted to disk". There, of course, you can also reserve three slots for float, integer, string ... If so, will it conflict with strings? Anyway thanks for sharing your thoughts, its nice to know other approach existed, we look forward to see your ASIC LispM someday soon.. BR, Geo
