Re: Picolisp Outlook
Hi Tom, It appears that so long as the virtual machine abstraction is of any value the PicoLisp ecosystem will continue to grow. PicoLisp basically is Cell (cons pair) processing. One needs to approach PicoLisp bottom up from cell. Surprisingly the cloud and its serverless abstraction are ultimately abstractions of a virtual machine of a different scale and type, that is orthogonal to PicoLisp. There is already a docker implementation of PicoLisp on SmartOS of Titan cloud. Please search and discover. PicoLisp ecosystem appears to be super safe as it is based on future-proof virtual machine architecture, hence as safe and future-proof as mathematics

Hi! My personal thoughts below Le dim. 21 févr. 2021 à 17:57, a écrit : > ... where do you see the future of Picolisp in the years to come? > People willing to use it will use it. People not aware of it or not wanting to use it will not use it. That's all. Alex just made a "coup de maître" reimplementing his language, who is able to predict his next brilliant move!? What do you see as the killer feature that could help Picolisp to strive > and survive? > PicoLisp is a language (with a fascinating set of implementations), not a product. What do you think is missing in the Picolisp ecosystem? > Nothing, or Alex would have implemented it! Wait. I have an idea I'll send to the list in another message. Nothing language related, maybe a howto request. chri >
