Installation issues

2015-02-06 Thread Lawrence Bottorff
Hello, I've gotten the latest picolisp, 3.1.9, and am trying to install locally. Following the instructions for 64-bit on my linux, I've built the executable picolisp all right. But the bin directory's pil seems to pick up the previous version I installed before from Ubuntu: ../bin/ ./pil :

modules?

I'm wondering what you offer in lieu of modules (as with, say, Python). Is there a black box way to package up code in picoLisp that has module-like serviceability? LB

I'm a total Lisp noob (and a very rusty programmer), but from OO (Java, et al) there is (behind the scenes, i.e., preprocessor) name mangling. There's also tagging stuff with a huge hash generated numbers. I say all this because I'm hearing the need for uniqueness and anti-name-clash -- across

Best way to learn picolisp

So, what would the best way to learn picolisp be for a total beginner? It might seem like you should just bite the bullet and learn regular Common Lisp first, then start learning picolisp. That is, you should know all the capabilities of Lisp before you try to learn a derivative Lisp. Is this
