Dear List and Pilcon Participants, I'm adding here the points that I feel will complete the recap given earlier by Olaf.
Kindly take notice and correct me incase of any error. 1. Database not required for learners. Lists and symbols are sufficient. As per Alex, symbols are higher level concept than lists in picolisp. 2. Common lisp is more list centric. When Alex was starting out in 1980's he was advised to understand and work around symbol more than lisp. At the machine level, symbol is also a cons pair. But apparently it's not needed to be understood while programming. 3. Example of shopping list. Apples, bananas really useful. This was done first by setq making cons pairs in definition. And also later defining a class and object. 4. Great question by another participant (I'm sorry, not knowing name) to ask why take numbers in car of cons pair (in example given in point 3). car in cons pair is good for processing. Lot of functions and function processing can take place. Geo, my Org Babel works perfectly with Picolisp, I'll still review link shared by you. Thanks to Alex for giving us his time and organising the event. It was interesting and very helpful. Also thanks to participants for enabling each other communicate easily with clarity. :) Best, Nehal On Fri, Sep 4, 2020, 6:05 PM George-Phillip Orais < orais.georgephil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Olaf, > > Thanks for this recap, this is very nice indeed! > > I would like to add the hand-made block diagram by Alex for his > documentation, very cool!
