Thank you Alex and all other participants (and not at least thanks to beneroth (typed correctly?) providing the space, where we could meet)
again for this nice PilCon Session. I like to recap some topics/items, perhaps others can also enjoy (disclaimer: there may be misunderstandings or faults in the notes!) - inspiring discussion if literate programming concepts could help explaining picolisp code (thanks for demonstrating the 'old' Forth way to enable a similar idea for documentation without mixing doc strings into the code') - no assembler language knowledge required for picolisp beginners -- but knowledge about the cell structure might help understand the core functionality ... there are docs in the distribution -- thanks for demonstrating the helpful cells function 'hidden :-)' in lib/vip/draw.l (hopefully remembered the path correctly) - use src files and 'load' early to avoid beginners being frustrated by segfaults -- segfaults on the way to learn picolisp, for me are a bit like "is the same as learning the first falls of a toddler while running. after a short time, they are missing out." (kudos to babelfish) - easy beginner examples to teach children picolisp are wanted (perhaps from the physics domain?) - when starting to program in picolisp start thinking about the data structure -- might be lists if you want to train list handling -- might be classes and objects, if you want an example which can be easily enhanced or changed later without changing the whole work done so far - picolisp is different from other LISPs - using picolisp classes/objects has (very?) little performance constraints Surely there were more interesting items to remember, but too much for me :-) Thank you all, hopefully we'll meet again in one of the next PilCons :-) Olaf On 03.09.20 18:13, Alexander Burger wrote: > Hi all, > > as a reminder, tomorrow is PilCon again! > > As scheduled, we start at 8:00 UTC on > > https://meeting.itship.ch/PilCon > > (for those who missed it: PilCon is on the first (8:00 UTC) and on the third > (16:00 UTC) Friday every month) > > ☺/ A!ex > -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
