Hi Daniel, > In that case, what is the status of Picolisp 32-bit? > I read in the doc in many places "64-bit version only". Is Picolisp 32-bit > deprecated?
All PicoLisp versions except pil21 (e.g. pil32, pil64, miniPicoLisp, ErsatzLisp, PilMCU and PilOS) are still around, but I don't actively maintain them any more. > If so, it creates a cognitive dissonance in my mind. A system > created to be small and fast runs only on 64-bit? I believe this is no contradiction. The system is still small and fast, just the pointer size is 64 instead of 32 bits. The trend is towards 64 bits, in servers, desktops, notebooks, smartphones and even single-board computers (RasPi). Only small embedded systems remain, and there just miniPicoLisp makes sense. BTW, the "pico" in the name never meant the system size (you can build large applications with PicoLisp), but the small number of basic concepts. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
