Certainly Fennel only a proof of concept. But it's easy to understand, you can add lists and other things within just a few lines by using Lua primitives, which are Lisp like.
Same with Common Lisp and Scheme. When you read through Common Lisp language definition, it's a huge book, language definition of Scheme, consequently based on S-expressions, is just a few pages long. What brings me to topic of COMPLEXITY. PicoLisp IMHO is feature complete, is no more complex, than a human can understand and absorb within a couple of weeks to become a highly efficient and fast problem solver. And from security point of view, PicoLisp is small enough to get completely security reviewed by a team with just a few weeks. Today, we have automated tools doing that in a couple of hours or minutes: See e.g. gcc -fanalyzer function. A godsend! ;-) Have fun! Am Mittwoch, 6.

Not sure why you keep mentioning fennel, while it seems most popular somehow, but it is also most clojure like and with seemingly boneheaded list handling. > > On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 3:51 PM Guido Stepken <gstep...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Am Mittwoch, 6.
