08:30 <Hunar> Hello :D  I have a small question.. in this tutorial     https://picolisp-blog.hashnode.dev/getting-started-with-the-picolisp-database   the code (new T) creates a new external symbol {2} , then she says that the following code is not recommended   (put *DB 'newSym '{2})  but doesn't state what IS recommended, what is recommended then :|

08:30 <Hunar> ?

08:31 <Regenaxer> Hi Hunar! Let me check

08:33 <Hunar> I'm referring to this line   (For demonstration purposes, we are accessing it now directly as {2}) how else can I access it when putting it in *DB

08:34 <Regenaxer> Ah, OK, this means that in *programs* external symbols should not be written literally

08:34 <Regenaxer> Never write {1} but use *DB

08:35 <Regenaxer> Normally, you don't know (and don't care) that it is a symbol {2} or {A123} or whatever

08:36 <Regenaxer> *if* {2} is used literally, it cannot be garbage-collected. That's the only reason

08:36 <Regenaxer> can't be collected because it is referred to in the code

08:37 <Hunar> Ah, so I just use (setq A (new T))?

08:37 <Regenaxer> yes, exactly

08:38 <Hunar> I overcomplicated it in my head :D

08:38 <Regenaxer> yeah :)

08:38 <Hunar> Thanks Regenaxer :)

08:38 <Regenaxer> It is not an issue normally

08:38 <Regenaxer> :)

08:48 <Hunar> I have too many plans and too little time, I checking all the tutorials in that blog but the 5min reads turn into 4 hours:/  .. yesterday I added another plan to my todoList, making a picolisp binding for the raylib library .. I checked it last year using C, it was the easiest library to setup :D    https://www.raylib.com/

08:50 <Regenaxer> Nice idea
