So, one thing I'm not seeing obviously in this list of articles (which seem great in general!) is an explanation of how picolisp contrasts to other lisps? Something explaining why I might reach for picolisp instead of, say, scheme or common lisp?
Can anyone share something showing that, or explaining a little bit more about picolisp for someone unfamiliar with it? (I thought the pros/cons list on the page might describe it a little more, but it didn't make things immediately clear to me).
- lithos 2y agoYeah LISP has major issues of "that's neat, what happens when you try IO". Anything from drawing on the screen, connecting to a socket, or even nonterminal keyboard input ends up being such a pain.
- anonzzzies 2y agoNot talking about pico as i don't have experience with it, but not sure what you mean in relation to something like common lisp or racket? Those things you mention are trivial in both. I know racket is more scheme than lisp.
- iLemming 2y agoAre you sure you're not confusing Lisp with Haskell, because I'm not sure at all what the heck you're talking about.
