I have to agree with Alex here. This language has its place and is very useful in that place. I am currently doing embedded in C, and have no choice about what to use. But I have to say, I in very much in favor of the succinctness of PicoLisp and its ability to link with any library. If someone,

Hi Alex, I added an account recently apobits to Twitter - this is for an idea I am working on. Since it has to be portable to Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone, I have to do it in C, not picolisp :-( BTW, the verb form is twittered or better tweeted. A twitter is the sound a bird makes, and

Hi Henrik, I just went and read that too - links per inode would include both directories or files or a mix of both. I checked the filesystem code for this, the ext3 inode is limited by a 16bit links_count. Under linux (UNIX) a directory simply contains a list of names and their inodes (a link) -

Hi Alex, Thanks for the explanation. I haven't seriously programmed in assembly since 1986. However, the mental transitions that you mention are very familiar to me. I remember starting to write macros for everything and very soon it didn't matter that there were often unnecessary instructions

Hi Alex, I tried to compile the 64 bit version on my macbook yesterday - no joy. I think I have to create the /usr/bin/picolisp and /usr/lib/picolisp links to the 32 bit version and then create the .s files. I didn't get that far yet. Thanks for the 'errno' call. I'll try again this

Hi Alex, Do shells really? A simple case of the opposite: start vim, kill -9 from another shell, and you have to type stty sane. I think it is more up to the application to save and restore. Although, picolisp does bring surprises, whether you start with dbg.l and *Dbg on or not. But I think

Hi Alex, So, something must still be wrong. I just never noticed it because I only called non-interactive processes (except 'vim'). But that is my point - vim goes to a lot of effort to handle the STOP and CONT signals and get the terminal handling right. I have created apps similar to vim -

Hi Tomas, I would presume that you are beginning to get close to the reason that one often encapsulates strings into an object. You need to know the display length of something to center it, and that means that you want to know the length of the string. Without an encapsulating object, you need
