Perfect.

There is no reference yet. Note also that pil21 is now only about half way
implemented. When done, it should be completely compatible with pil64, except
for a few differences.
I maintain a file for these differences. As of today (will probably be extended
with time), it is:
Differences to Pil64
====================
+ Lisp insted of PilAsm
+ No PicoLisp required for bootstrapping
+ '*Run' not limited to 1024 FDs / 500 children
+ Shared libraries have ".so" extension
+ 'journal' format: Default size '0' instead of '64'
+ 'with' accepts 'var' instead of 'sym'
- '====' is removed
- '(arg)' call is removed
- Second argument to 'name' (i.e. renaming) is removed
- Lambda-binding environment offset for 'eval' and 'run' only for '@'
- 'native'
— only functions with fixed number of arguments
— no 'T' result spec (skipped call)
- Coroutines
Main routine has a tag 'T'
So, as I said, pil21 is not usable now. If you want to know which user-level
functions are implemented so far, look at 'symTab' in "src/glob.l" (as opposed
to 'SymTab' in "src64/glob.l".
And even of those functions some are not complete yet. I'm going through
"src/main.l", and traverse the 'load'ed files. This month I'm in "src/io.l".
