Hi Thorsten,
I like picolisp (very much) and would like to participate in the mailing
list.
Good :)
I could not figure out how and where to subscribe with Gnus - therefore this
email.
Perfect. This was the correct way (just a mail with subscribe in the
subject).
Cheers,
- Alex

Hallo,
I recently discovered (amazing) picolisp and have a few (I hope not too
naive) questions. I write one mail for each question to not mix up
things.
I read in the documentations about distributed picolisp databases, the
ability to make picolisp apps faster and faster by adding hardware cores
Hi Thorsten.
Here is a description of a real world example:
http://picolisp.com/5000/-2-I.html
In that article you will also find some links to functions that might or
might now be of use to you, such as (ext).
When it comes to distributed data and PicoLisp you don't get much for free

Hello,
one thing I like very much about emacs is the ability to run foreign
programs (like R and picolisp) as inferior process and communicate with them
as if they were part of emacs.
I wonder if one could build a picolisp app that fully integrates with R

Hi Thorsten,
I wonder if one could build a picolisp app that fully integrates with R
(statistics software, http://www.r-project.org/) and GRASS GIS (a command
line GIS that uses a superset of shell commands, http://grass.fbk.eu/) on
its linux host machine?
There are basically five ways a

This overview of the different ways of integration with other software
is very good! It deserves a place in the wiki. ;-)

Hi Thorsten,
in addition to what Henrik wrote:

something like id or ext gives a distributed faster database, and when doing

I'm still not sure, however, if it is complete. I'm getting a bit
confused about that, it is the only place where pil32 and pil64 are

Hi Alexander,
thanks for all that information, definitely worth a wiki entry.
Due to limited skills number 1. and number 4./5. seem to be the most
realistic options for me, but I will need some time to digest so much new
info.
My plans are to read and learn more about picolisp the next weeks,
Hi Henrik,
that's what I thought - moving lists back and forth between two variants of
lisp should somehow be manageable.
Thanks for the tip, I wil have a closer look.
Thorsten
BTW a lot of nice articles on your blog.

Hi Alexander,
Distribution involves separate machines, connected via TCP. On each
machine, typically several PicoLisp database processes are running,
Changes to the individual DBs have to be done the normal way (e.g. the
'put' family of methods), where each application (PicoLisp process
Hi Alexander,
Yeah, these are the easiest. If you have a 64-bit system, however, 3 is
as simple as 1.
Unfortunately I installed 32-bit Ubuntu on my machine, only to find out
later that it has 64-bit architecture ...

If you like, you might join the #picolisp IRC channel. Gives more

Is my interpretation right, that the ' several PicoLisp database processes'
running on one machine form a 'PicoLisp process family' that is

Hallo,
it seems to me that elisp and picolisp are close relatives in the lisp
familiy,
Yeah... they both use parens and dynamic binding...
and I wonder if it would be possible to convert elisp code to
picolisp code - and how difficult this would be?
Did someone just suggest:
All this would make sense if there was a picolisp-based-editor, and even if
that were the case,
it's not a good idea to mass-rip stuff from emacs (since emacs is full of
contradictions and
different criteria)
By the way, these kind of discussions are better in IRC (#
