Re: Ins and outs of the 'de' function

[Michel Pelletier]

Please do!  It's a small community and sometimes might feel like you're
talking to the walls, but we're paying attention.  I myself almost never
actually get to use picolisp, but I think it's an excellent example of
simplicity and minimalism language design, and it actually brought me to
become a lisp convert more than CL or scheme ever has.

A particular "aha" moment for me wrt picolisp was when I really understood
lambda expression:

This will surely be appreciated! And documentation is always needed. We can
assist, and clear up details, here or (probably more conveniently) in the
#picolisp IRC channel.

Ins and outs of the 'de' function

[Arie van Wingerden]

Hi,

since first contact with PicoLisp I was convinced to it's possibilities,
the small footprint and the extra's built-in, like GUI and DB.

Since I've got some spare time, I am now trying to get a better grasp on
things.

Yesterday I already posted about some trial and error.
Today, I tried to approach one function (de) in a structured manner and
wrote it down.

If and only if such things will be appreciated, I intend to continue bit by
bit to create some useful docs with examples and a bit of extra explanation
