hi all,
PicoLisp power user here, AMA.

What functions do you consider most powerful in PicoLisp?
No particular list. :)
No particular list. :)

Amazing. I assume all of them are equally powerful.
How many lambdas have you computed today?
this list of tasks I've implemented in october:

Last task is the most interesting.
I've never really bothered to engage with PicoLisp, what standing does it have in the overall family and what are it's peculiarities?
Everything is working, no known issues.
Copy-paste from README:
PicoLisp is very different from any other Lisp dialect. This is partly due to the above design principles, and partly due to its long development history since 1984.>>1
Do you have any neat examples of PicoLisp using Fexprs or persistent storage?
Here's a fun exercise. All LISPs named after divisional metric prefixes.
decilisp - Does not exist
centilisp - Does not exist
millilisp - Abandoned
microlisp - AVR/ARM only. No hardware access. http://www.ulisp.com
nanolisp - Abandoned
picolisp - https://picolisp.com
femtolisp - Abandoned
attolisp - Abandoned
zepto - Abandoned
yocto - Abandoned

No lisp is ever abandoned in my heart.

Same guy just wrote lisp from nothing.

Only God can create something out of nothing.

God can extract an element from the empty set?
And on nth day he said 'Let there be #f'; and it was so. Beholding what he had created, saw that it was indeed very very good.
