Re: pil64emu testing features

2012-10-30 Thread Alexander Burger
Hi Shaun,

 Now that it's out of the bag, what is the purpose of pil64emu?  I've been
 seeing it on the repo, and I am curious. :-)

Yes, that's a valid question.

I think it is necessary for completeness, to make pil64 available also
on systems not explicitly supported. pil64 has features not available in
pil32, like a better database serialization format, short numbers,
coroutines, namespaces and native C call.s

I myself actually want it for not time-critical purposes like
replicating 64-bit databases to a 32-bit server.

Cheers,
- Alex

Hi Axel,

 I implemented a reader that aims to mimic the behaviour of the builtin
 (read). The purpose is to provide a starting point for those who need
 an alternative reader that's not completely different from the builtin
 one. Alpha stage, comments welcome!

 Download: http://axelsvensson.se/pilreader-121030.tgz

I can't really make a qualified comment to this without further
investigation - but it looks very interesting and sounds as if it is
related to my attempts to write an Emacs-like command-line for PicoLisp?
Or is that an entirely different topic- maybe you could expand a bit on
the possible use-cases of your pilreader?
