I don't understand what makes you think that Alex is an ignorant.
First of all, I want to thank Alex as John already did. I don't know
Alex and I'm only a hobby programmer (with limited experience in several
languages), but from his work and from the experience and savoir-faire
that that work emits, I can see that he made (and is still making) wise
decisions.
Picolisp is useful for me, but for Alex, it's a way of life. So if he
has choosen LLVM, he must have good reasons for this. Not a random or
ignorant choice.
If you think another way to develop pil21 will be better and Picolisp
really means that much to you, then please, be constructive and help.
You have experience with DynASM, Web Assembly or whatever? You know
Picolisp so deeply that you can build it from scratch using other
toolchains? Then show how *you* would do it, give directions, show some
code and offer your collaboration. Unless you go that way, all you say
is blah blah and you're saying it in a quite unrespectful and selfish
manner, by the way. For now, I'll trust Alex more than I trust you.
Regards,
Alfonso

I don't discourage him. I present facts. LLVM contains plenty of AI
code, especially for generating code for NVIDIA chips.
Since January 1st there are export restrictions for AI code to China now.

Means: No use of LLVM within China any longer. No use of pil21 with
LLVM JIT in China. Same for many other countries.
Whole world now is rethinking use of US software stacks in general.
Again: "Keep away from US Software Stacks!!!"
Alex, go on using LLVM. See you in Guantanamo. (Remember: Meng Wanzhou
was caught in Canada with US warrant).
Unbelievable ignorance!!!!
