Hi, I consider myself beginer. I like your blog (have i read it sooner, i would save my time).
PilCon afterthoughts: as beginer I face problem of too big search space for possible answers. I think that your top-down clarification proposal is aimed at that. 60 beginer functions from your blog helps with problem. I think interactive/dynamic documentation is more effective than static one But I do not efficiently use tools picolisp have for that, yet. Maybe PilCon? maybe valuable proposals: All functions could have flag in properties. [basic] [pilog] [stream I/O] [obscure] [linux native] [destructive] so you can search and limit searchspace. for example: I want basic, stream I/O, not destructive, not obscure. than i read names of functions, than documentation of all searched. Enough flags to limit search to small pool of 7 functions. Documentation could be "live" evaluated and linked with automated tests. So you can add/improve your documentation, and also reduce workload on maintenance. Controversial one: Too much expressivness is double edge sword. It gives you power to do what you want how you want, but also expands search space for answers when writing and reading new code. I am not experienced enough to judge functions, but i think there are too many. Maybe discussion and cleanup? IMHO, all of the above has bigger value than refactoring all pil-core-code which would fit only one person who refactored it. I think it is possible to have multiple working structures of same program to fit multiple people. I do not see very practical way of commissioning it now.
