Re: New blog - "PicoLisp for beginners"

2021-09-11 Thread Mia Burger 

Hi Radek,

I'm happy the blog helps you! I agree with you that it's hard to find
the "important" functions in the beginning. I was very glad when I found
the quantitative "Rosetta Code Analysis", I don't know who did it but it
was really helpful.

Regarding your documentation proposal with the flags and interactive
editing, I'm not able to judge if it's a good idea or not. But from my
personal experience, I'm not sure if this would actually solve the
problem (for beginners). I think the main beginner's problem is that you
actually don't know what to look for, and more flags can be even more
confusing. In my opinion, what is really helping is to have tons of
examples (and someone to ask). But I guess that's also a matter of
personal learning style..

BR, Mia

Enough flags to limit search to small pool of 7 functions.

Documentation could be "live" evaluated and linked with automated

Controversial one: Too much expressivness is double edge sword. It
gives you power to do what you want how you want, but also expands
search space for answers when writing and reading new code. I am not

Hi all,

I'm Mia, one of Alex' daughters, nice to meet you!

I started to play around with PicoLisp a few months ago. So I checked
the available resources, and after a while I thought it might be
good to
have a little bit more "beginner's level" content, with a low
threshold
and fun to read. Because I feel that a lot of it is already quite
advanced (or of rather mixed difficulty), which can be quite
frustrating.

So we started to put up a blog together. Today I have posted the first
article, and there will be one post per day for the next few weeks. If
you're interested, feel free to follow!

- This is the blog homepage: https://picolisp-blog.hashnode.dev/


- And here is the repository with some ideas for structure and
content:
https://gitlab.com/picolisp-blog/structure


I'm always happy about feedback or further inputs - for example, I
think
it would be really nice to feature some community projects, like
Nehal's
mind maps. Always open for your ideas! Also, please let me know if
something requires further explanation or maybe is even wrong.


Wish you a nice rest of the week!

Best regards, Mia


PS. Also I have to apologize, obviously most of the content is not
originally from me but from the community. Sometimes I even copied
complete sentences if I liked them. Hope that was ok!

Welcome Mia!

I followed the steps of your install pil21 on win10/WSL blog post - and
it worked fine, thanks for putting all (WSL+Linux+pil21) together in one
recipe.

(I only had to do a 'sudo apt update'  before Ubuntu did install the llvm)



Reading over your nice list of planned topics, 'Segmentation Fault' and
'Dynamic Binding' come to my mind.

An application / commandline tool quitting with segfault is so very
uncommon nowadays, that new friends of picolisp might think more of a
'faulty program' than conscious design decisions of the picolisp author.

Writing the first experimental code lines in a file on disk and
loading it with 'pil mycode.l +' helped me a lot to lower my frustration
about having typed in 10 lines of code in the REPL which were all wiped
out by my false function calls in the beginning.




'Dynamic Binding' is rarely used today, I guess, and might lead to
trouble for experienced programmers, who come from other languages,
which follow the 'lexical binding' paradigm(?).

There was a PilCon talk on this and I tried to find a simple rule,
how to avoid problems or how to recognize in advance if problems would
occur, but I do not have that present.  Perhaps we could raise this
topic in the mailing list again one day.

So this could be an entry with question mark (I'm not really sure how
relevant this topic is) in your nice content list.


Keep on writing :-)

Kind Regards,
Olaf

The only way to build/install on macOS is by using this fork:

So, can I now safely remove your gihub repository ?


By the way, the wiki here:

Hi Jean-Christophe,

If you succeeded to install pil21 on macOS and want the latest and greatest,
you can ignore my fork entirely. 

I loosely track picoLisp v21 features on my fork, which only needs a C compiler
to compile and can bootstrap pil21.

Hi Jean-Cristophe,

I’ve built pil21 on macOS 10.14:

1) I use MacPorts, installed mp-llvm-10, readline, libffi, and openssl packages.
Run ‘port select —set llvm mp-llvm-10’ to use the MacPorts version of LLVM.

2) I’ve modified the latest pil21 Makefile in the src directory:

# 19aug21 Software Lab. Alexander Burger
  
SILENT:

CC = clang -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib
PIL = ../pil # pil
ASM = opt -O3  # llvm-as
LLC = llc
LINK = llvm-link
MAIN = -rdynamic -lc -lutil -lm -ldl -lreadline -lffi
# SHARED = -shared
SHARED = -dynamiclib -undefined dynamic_lookup
STRIP = : # strip

It builds cleanly and passes all the included tests.

Hello all,

The installation procedure that says "macos is ok" seems misleading.
https://picolisp-blog.hashnode.dev/how-to-install-picolisp

I've followed the instruction here:
https://git.envs.net/mpech/pil21/src/branch/master/INSTALL
And obviously I can't install the Debian dev libraries.

I tried this:
https://macappstore.org/picolisp/

but brew does not seem to list picolisp anymore.

The only way to build/install on macOS is by using this fork:

Or am I mistaken ?

By the way, the wiki here:

this was one of the first ones I wrote, and I agree that the flow was
