My 5 minutes lightning talk at FrosCon

2018-09-26 Thread Joh-Tob Schäg
Since there is some much stir around the presentation made by mtsd. (Great work by the way) I decided it is a good time to put my lightning talk at FrosCon out there. Attached is the original version i gave. Inline is an updated version with more content which could function as a PicoLisp tutorial

Re: PicoLisp v. MicroPython ?

2019-01-22 Thread Joh-Tob Schäg
well there is MicroPicoLisp which aims for the low ram embedded space. PicoLisp itself depends on some Unix abstractions which are not present in all systems but MicroPicoLisp should be fine.   Ursprüngliche Nachricht   Von: hbak...@pipeline.com Gesendet: 23. Januar 2019 01:06 An: picolisp@soft

Hello Nehal, here are several tangent thoughts. First: PicoLisp is great for mathematics, as long as you stay with integers or fractions (frac.l). Working with 2.321 by *Scl is cumbersome and there is no good way to hide the scaling for a new users yet. Even when it is very irritating. I woul

Your code has several unclearities/problems. Why do you create and store a new Symbol in the property and then set it's value to the value you want to store? Why don't you just store the value in the property? (Like (put *DB k v) for kv-add) Why do you set the value of the first symbol to "Root" ?

Lisp is language where expression are executed in order. Since lisp code is expressed in data, we need something that has a way of expression of express ordering. That is possible in a dictionary too. Let's imagine the code: {fak => {1 => {1 => N}, {2=>{1=>if, 2=>{1 => =, 2=> N, 3=>0}, 3=>1, 4=>{1=

Hello Nehal, I've been doing some catching up on these videos. Mr. Alabhya Singh took quiet some time to explain this mathematical problem with the different approaches. I recall that in Germany when i was confronted with the same problem (apply + (range 1 N)), i was taught the Gauss approach (/ (*

The docs: (later 'var . prg) -> varExecutes prg in a pipe'ed child process. The return value of prg will later be available in var. Note that later uses pr and rd to communicate the result, so prg should not write any data to standard output as a side effect. : (prog1 # Parallel background calcul

Hi Derenik, i know of no hoster which provides setup or support for PicoLisp. You are on your own, but that is less scary that it sounds: 1. Pick a Linux/BSD of your choice 2. install PicoLisp from source or package manager 3. Setup a proxy server to handle encryption etc. (NGINX + HTTP-Gate or ju

Have you already looked at the family example? Here is my brief overview of ascending order of abstractedness: PicoLisp had no graph database. What is has is this: - The ability to serialize/de-serialize all structures in the heap (Lists, numbers, functions, symbols etc) - It has the ability to
