String syntax, or Transient Symbol syntax

2014-11-25 Thread Loyall, David
Hello. I am having some trouble working with Strings or Transient Symbols. (I'll call them strings for now.) Consider this string: ^(a+)\) In picoLisp, I must enter that as: \^(a+)\\) See, the escaping syntax is a pretty heavy burden for the types of strings I work with...

jeq instruction not documented in doc64/asm

2014-11-26 Thread Loyall, David
Hello. FYI, I see an instruction 'jeq' in used in src64/io.l, but I don't see it described in doc64/asm. Hm, for that matter, I don't see 'jne' or 'jgt' either. Maybe I shouldn't expect to find 'jeq'? I encountered 'jeq' in the 12th line of the definition of testEscA_F (which I pasted below

Hi, Alexander. Hi, everyone. Consider https://github.com/r0nk/ward (and the animated .gif image linked at the bottom of the README). Could something like this be made for picolisp emu? Of course it should probably emit graphviz dot language instead of only ascii art. :) Just an idea.

Mike Pechkin has set up a repo at bitbucket. More next week. [...] Github.com is more than a repo, it's a community of developers. Once the repo is available on bitbucket, it will be trivial to set up an automatic mirror. Philosophically, I favor bitbucket. Pragmatically, I favor github(R).

Another stack based CPU: J1

Today on HN I read about a tiny stack-based CPU called J1. This is its homepage: http://www.excamera.com/sphinx/fpga-j1.html and here is a more formal description: http://www.excamera.com/files/j1.pdf Here is the quote that made me bring this topic to the picolisp mailing list: The J1

RE: Another stack based CPU: J1

2015-04-15 Thread Loyall, David
The J1 is probably close to the simplest possible useful CPU. Alexander, do you agree with that statement? Is the J1 the same as pil? I see no similarities at all. Also, PilMCU doesn't strive particularly for simplicity (the PicoLisp *language* does). It is rather complex, with
