--- Comment #1 from Jason Vas Dias jason.vas.dias@gmail.com --- Please consider including Alexander Burger's excellent picolisp small footprint LISP interpreter: https://picolisp.com - into Fedora.
I have written a pure "Shared-Library-Only" build of picolisp, which I use in both a working bash-builtin and in an Apache Module - I'd like to make these open source, available to any EPEL / Fedora or Ubuntu user, but picolisp has not as yet been delivered to Red Hat RPM users to my knowledge. It IS in Ubuntu / Debian and Android Termux.
It is very powerful, succinct, clear, well documented - see:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:PicoLisp
Do ask the author if it is OK : abu@software-lab.de
I think it would be fine with him, he already gave permission to Debian / Ubuntu ; I doubt he'd want to be bothered with Fedora Package Management, though -
I am happy to maintain the PicoLisp package for Fedora / EPEL, keeping it up to date with Alex's latest release once a week or so.
PicoLisp has a "less is more" programming philosophy:
"Perfection is attained not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away. "
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry).
I have found it to be ultra robust and reliable, and efficient, when used correctly, when used incorrectly it core-dumps, or, if lucky, can '(throw ...) an error condition / exception that can be caught with (try (catch ...) (finally ...) (prog ...))).
The documentation is excellent, available from the REPL, or as HTML (shipped in RPM as /usr/share/picolisp/doc) : https://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation .
Please give Fedora / RHEL users the benefits of PicoLisp, enjoyed by Debian / Ubuntu / Android Termux users!
