I don't think it's necessary to add arrays to the core language however,
Arrays are very useful for numeric computing over linked lists. Contiguous
blocks of linear memory are much more efficient, improving on numeric
density, cache occupancy, and being able to take advantage of specific CPU
vector instructions. For GPU based computing, contiguous arrays are
To complicate things I've attached my two local versions of picolisp.el and
inferior-picolisp.el
When I diff them I see quite substantial differences.
Unfortunately I have no idea why I made those changes as I didn't take any
notes and it was several years ago.
