I use the 32 bit picolisp written in C. It runs fine on amd64 machines with 64 bit GNU Linux and also runs fine on 32 bit and 64 bit raspberry pi. Alex wrote several picolisp implementations which have different dependencies, for example: - minipicolisp: minimal dependencies, less functionality - 32 bit picolisp in C (the one I am using) - pil64: 64 bit picolisp in assembly - picolisp in java - pil21: picolisp using llvm There are other projects like bare metal picolisp or picolisp in fpga but I haven't kept track of those. -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
