Java Interoperability - Why bother with Clojure?
Hi all! A new library to call Java code from/to PicoLisp: http://picolisp.com/wiki/?javaCode ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: Java Interoperability - Why bother with Clojure?
Interesting development you have there, connecting the JVM to PicoLisp proper. Which makes me wonder about Ersatz PicoLisp though. How would it stand against other JVM alternatives? I know that Ersatz is not as fast as native PicoLisp. But for instance Groovy, is really slow on the JVM. Maybe Ersatz would be fast enough for serious work too, if Groovy is.

But why bother to use Ersatz at all? And not the real thing? For using with Java? It depends. If I had a say of the deployment stack, yes, then why not use the real thing. I would choose native PicoLisp in a heartbeat! This bridge you developed is really good for mixing native PicoLisp performance with Java ecosystem. But sometimes the programmers don't have anything to say about how the servers are run - they just are told that we deploy the JVM with this and this version. They can use any language, just as long as that language works *inside* the JVM. In those instances, alternatives such as Ersatz are really nice. (By the way I really meant to say Clojure, not Groovy, but it doesn't matter. Ersatz could be a competitor to all the JVM languages.) best regards, Jakob -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Wiki: Websockets with PicoLisp, 404
Hi, Just want to mention that the wiki page http://picolisp.com/wiki/?Websockets contains a link to web.l's websocket demo https://bitbucket.org/cyborgar/web.l/src/default/webtest.l?at=default that now gives a 404. Does anybody know if this demo code can be found elsewhere? /Jon-- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
