Re: cloud host for picolisp

You can either choose e.g. a Hetzner VSERVER, see CX11 offer or you simply
ask your provider of your choice for a NginX virtual domain server with
PicoLisp interpreter as fast_cgi module setup:

Any UNIX sysadmin can configure that in a few minutes.

Have fun!

Hi Derenik,

i know of no hoster which provides setup or support for PicoLisp. You
are on your own, but that is less scary that it sounds:
1. Pick a Linux/BSD of your choice
2. install PicoLisp from source or package manager
3. Setup a proxy server to handle encryption etc. (NGINX + HTTP-Gate
or just HTTP gate) and add it to your "autostart".
The best you can  hope for is a well managed Linux installation, which
is not worth paying extra money for when you have 10h-20h hours to
spare to setup it up once well. (Think unattended updates, monitoring
with email notifications, occasional backup, automatic Let's Encrypt
key renewal, ssh login with keys only, DNS name (all things for which
tutorials exist readily.))

As for hosters:
I only looked for budget hosters in Germany. There are two which might
be interesting:
 * Hetzner: Provides non bullshit service and charges very
transparently. Some things cost them money but you are not paying much
more than they are. It has good dedicated servers which are really
cheap when you find something that fit's you bill. I would only
consider them if you have >30€ to spend per month. I have had good
experience with them.
 * For anything cheaper you have to go with a VPS. I've been eyeing a
hoster caller Contabo which has pretty sweet vServer deals starting
from 8€ a month.

It all depends on your time and money budget.
If you are not planning to host your web-app online for a few months
even a Linux (VM) on your local PC would work.

If you tell us more about your situation we can give more tailored
insights. I am positive that you can setup it well. Be not afraid to
ask.

Sincerely,
freemint

I just built PicoLisp on a digital ocean instance very easily, lowest price for 
a server instance is $5 a month on there. Not aware of anything that provides 
pre-installed PicoLisp.

cloud host for picolisp

2019-06-10 Thread Derenik Mikaelyan
Hi,

I'd like to use picolisp for making a web-app. I'm not good at server-side
setups and maintenance. Is there any cloud hosting-service that provides
well managed picolisp installation (for reasonable monthly fee)?

Thanks,

Derenik

There is already a function: 'align' :)

   : (pad 5 3)
   -> "3"
   : (align 5 3)
   -> "3"

Padding numbers with space

2019-06-10 Thread C K Kashyap
Hi,
I noticed that "pad" pads number with 0 prefix. What would be a good way to
use space instead?

I was about to copy the definition of pad (which is so nice to look at)
from lib/misc and edit it but was wondering if a "temporary patching" (if
that is a thing) would be better?

Kashyap
