So I picked this from the archive: SJain Sun, 16 May 2021 02:38:19 -0700 Are there any namespaces in 32 bit picolisp? How are local variables defined? As transient symbols? Yes, transient symbols were used to create scope-local symbols. Similar to (private) in pil21, though the letter is a bit more flexible and more readable. I would not call them "local variables". Those are bound with 'let' or 'use', independent of their scope. Namespaces are about the scope of symbols. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
