I have been considering the idea of getting picolisp to run on windows
I think there is no easy way to get the posix-build of picolisp to run
on windows.
Even if we manage (as we did before with cygwin etc.), the
posix-dependent parts like fork() are required for all the nice stuff
(servers, GUI, pilDB).
I think the only way to bring picolisp really to windows is by
implementing it in .NET.
Another picolisp VM implementation, like ersatz (java).
This is an huge task.
As I understand, Alex has no incentive to it, because with his current
customers and projects it would not be really a big benefit.
So maybe someone else would do it. Great opportunity to learn about
picolisp internals, and Alex surely would help if there are questions.
I would like to have picolisp on windows available, but it's not a
pressure issue for me.
At the moment I have no capacity for such a project, maybe in a few
months.
It surely would be a very exciting project.
