For me the fascination about the PilMCU chip lies in the fact that, even if it might be slower or more expensive than available mass products, I can program it in PicoLisp. For others this might be a huge advantage over doing embedded programming in other environments (which they already know), for me it would allow me to try out embedded programming without having to learn all the usual related stuff, I would simply skip the painfull part and directly go to the fun part, so to say. The problem is that I don't know exactly how that fun part would look like in the end? Whats the state-of-the-art in robotics e.g.? How difficult would it be to use the PilMCU chip as the "brain" of an otherwise fully functional roboter(-tool-kit) - if at all possible? What about (connecting) smart home devices etc? All my ideas are application oriented, i.e. I imagine an interesting use of a chip that is programmed in PicoLisp, but these ideas can be turned down easily by saying "this would be cheaper & faster when simply running 64bit PicoLisp on a regular mass-product chip". So I think this thread is a good idea, and hope it helps me to make up my mind about realistic possibilities of PilMUC. -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
