Movitz is an implementation of Common Lisp that runs on a microprocessor. More like ix86 than pic, but that's only a detail. However, the question for a PIC is perhaps the limited resources, like RAM? Perhaps you can't put a whole CL implementation? Do you need a whole development environment on the PIC? Perhaps you could use a Common Lisp implementation on a workstation, and use it to write and debug the PIC program, and cross-compile the PIC code from the workstation? If you want a lisp processor on the PIC, with limited memory, you can implement a simplier lisp, perhaps scheme, or your own small lisp. A few KB are all is needed to have something recognizable as lisp. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ READ THIS BEFORE OPENING PACKAGE: According to certain suggested versions of the Grand Unified Theory, the primary particles constituting this product may decay to nothingness within the next four hundred million years. _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
