Thanks for summing this up, I'm a bit rusty here and I did not change
anything in the picolisp-mode repo for quite some time, but it worked
when I left it, and sometime ago somebody complained loudly about
ob-picolisp not working in org-mode, but I checked and answered (with a
pretty extensive example) on the org-mode and picolisp mailing lists,
and everything was still working fine, the problem was more a general
misunderstanding about the working of org-babel.

Nice summary - thanks Rick. :-)

Lawrence, i've now replied to the issue you raised about config:

 https://github.com/flexibeast/picolisp-mode/issues/3#issuecomment-499743025

Also, did you end up resolving the issue you raised about calling 
`picolisp-repl`? i don't appear to have received any response from 
you to my last query:

Alexis.

Hi Lawrence,

Welcome back to the list!

AFAIK, there is no "definitive setup" in Emacs.

> There seems to be two picolisp-modes

Three is the count I have.

1. picolisp-mode bundled in the picolisp distro.
   - N.B. hasn't been updated in years.

2. Thorsten/tj64 version
   - https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-mode
   - first commit dated Apr 2012

3. Alexis/flexibeast version
   - https://github.com/flexibeast/picolisp-mode
   - first commit dated Nov 2014
   - Lawrence, you might remember discussing #3 with Alexis on this
 mailing list back in 2015.

I use #2.  However, I had found out about ("got tuned into") #3 back
in January (2019), told Alexis that I'd look at it, but haven't yet.
(Sorry, Alexis.)

So although I happily use #2 without issue, I'd recommend to any one
just picking up a picolisp mode for Emacs to go with #3 (as Alexis is
actively maintaining it).

> and org-mode babel needs the "run-picolisp" inferior mode set, etc.

I use #2 and it works with Org Babel.  Thorsten defines `run-picolisp`
in his `inferior-picolisp` here, FYI:

https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-mode/blob/master/inferior-picolisp.el#L357

Not sure about #3, as, as I mentioned, I've yet to use Alexis's
picolisp-mode.  If you're up for it, please try it and let us know how
it goes.

My 2 cents (and I hope somebody corrects any errors or omissions on my
part).  Happy hacking!
