This indeed very hard to say. All options are possible, but the decision depends on the goal and how close existing stuff is to it. I don't know any game libraries or frameworks. What would be the task of PicoLisp in such a project?

I see not much benefit to write something in PicoLisp and then translate it to JS. You lose all advantages of PicoLisp, so that writing it directly in JS is a lot better. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
