LUAJIT still requires cpu specific headers as you can see here: https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/blob/v2.1/src/lj_asm_x86.h Alex wrote he is tired of having to write meta assembler code for each platform. I doubt that will be better if has to use someone else's Meta assembler. Also LuaJIT does not target RISC-V. Target LLVM IR means porting it once and being able to target anything which has a translator. > And since when doesn't your C version of Picolisp compile on iOS?

Are you unaware that pil32/emu/mini have less features than pil64 and are slower too due to overhead/resrictions used by C? Also the size of LLVM doesn't matter since it is only necessary when compiling the binary. You can likely download binaries Alex built just as you can do. This is not different than Dynasm depending on LUA. Picolisp does not touch most LLVM code. It just needs the assembler part of it. Translating LLVM-IR to what ever you want is not that hard if you don't want to use LLVM and you can audit the resulting ASM. TL;DR: Shut up until you can show the code. This also applies to your "I did some cool distributed pilog thing" if you write some cool software but can't share it, don't talk about it on the mailing list.

There already is a Lisp on DYNASM, but - written in Lua: https://fennel-lang.org/ Easy to follow that example to get the DYNASM IR right. > Also, please shut up with WebAssembly.

Webassembly programs *do* run server side: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3411496/wasmer-takes-webassembly-server-side.html Sorry Alex, but sometimes you are your own labyrith not seeing the exit. And since when doesn't your C version of Picolisp compile on iOS? Objective-C is a superset of C with parts of Smalltalk.
