Hi Imran + Tomas,
in addition to Tomas' perfect explanation, let me add one note to:

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

You mean in the "ersatz/pil" wrapper script, before the JVM is started?
I would be reluctant to do so, because "tmp/"
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
legacy

Hi all,
(Noobie questions incoming.)
I have a couple of related questions about implementations:
1) Is there a definitive list somewhere of which features are present in
the different versions of PicoLisp? The comment on the download page is
a little bit vague about what has been left out of

Alex,
I have a porting-related question for you.
After more android testing I'm finding a problem with (transient) variables
... (I think).
When I try a definition like this,
(de foo (x) x)
no problem,
(foo 123)
returns 123 as expected.
But when I try it this way:
(de baz ("X") "X")

There is also this thread (12 messages)

which I admit to have not studied yet
