* A message from one of the silent *
I have just used Picolisp (PL) to write a tiny application that
generates web sites from xml files. It was great fun, and I use it in
my business. I am profoundly impressed with the power of the language.
I agree that picolisp can he hard to follow when you
I never came up with that DEAD headline and have no idea who did and
don't agree with it.
Let's take Clojure as an example again, no one in their right mind
would think that that language would have the adoption it has if it
wasn't based on Java with easy interoperability to get at all that
mentioned earlier, with a little jni C glue to hold it together.
Cheers,
Doug

Hi Doug,
After many merry rounds of compilation and discovery, it seems that
the ndk-build's compiler -falign-functions[=n] and friends align
functions relative to this option, but off by one (+1, or is that just
|1?).;-)
Weird indeed. Can't believe ;-)
In pico.h, sadly, I besmirched the

Hi again,
There were two functions in the Image_Noise example that I should have
known better: 'javac' and 'task'.
Now I've found both of them in picoLisp/ersatz/lib.l, along with a
bunch of other functions that I'm sure would be nice to know. It
shouldn't be too hard to figure out what

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.

No it is not dead to me. At least I do not want it dead. But in online
communities the1-9-90 rule applies:
1% is the major contributors
9% are contributing from time to time
90% are mostly silent (like me)
With 70 people on the list the numbers seem appropriate.
FWIW, I like PicoLisp the way it
Hello.
I am new to PL.
I come from trying out lots of library paradises where you need to load
100MB of background noise into RAM to print 'hello world' on the screen.
My aim is to learn and use lisp for smart small data base driven
applications within a little browser window.

Hi Alexander!
Hm, for an April 1st joke it is too early!?
Bad mood day due to ugly wet weather in upper bavaria? ;)

You may count me as silent but very happy with PicoLisp!
I use it mostly for automating tasks in Unix systems (particularly
fun in small devices running Linux).

Alex, your conclusion is not necessary true. If most are silent that has
