Hi Thorsten, thank you to point the rosettacode examples out to me! I always knew about rosettacode but didn't check, that there are more helpful computing tasks in general than programming puzzles, as I thought. Cheers, Olaf Am 25.09.2013 14:45, schrieb Thorsten Jolitz: "O.Hamann" writes

Hi Luis, I've built a proof of concept PicoLisp apk and ran it on a Droid X and my kindle fire. I wrote about it here: http://www.mail-archive.com/picolisp@software-lab.de/msg03114.html I was able to build the entire apk using terminal ide on my android (no android SDK). I'm happy to answer any

Thank you all for your messages! Henrik: It's good to know that database speed is compared to major RDBMs. PicoLisp having an integrated database is a big plus for the language. Alex: Thank you for providing the community such a powerful language that for sure has many many hours of hard work. As

Hi Louis, I've also just started exploring Picolisp for some of the reasons you mentioned. Hopefully we can exchange our impressions here after some time. Me too did find my way to picolisp not from the embedded C world but from interpreter languages. I already had a little 'lispish' experi
