abu[m]: (set (; f 2 4) (lit f))
<cpli>
causes me to stack overflow in my repl
<abu[m]>
As I said, don't print it ;) REPL means read - eval - *print*
<cpli>
oh
<abu[m]>
You can put a T on the same line
<cpli>
makes sense
<abu[m]>
Or put it in a file
<cpli>
abu[m]: what does (set (; f 2 4) (lit f)) even do?
<cpli>
are 2 & 4 arbitrary?
<cpli>
what is the `;` accessor?
<abu[m]>
It is a short form of (caddr (cadr f))
<abu[m]>
i.e. take the second and then the 4th element
<cpli>
**oh, interesting**
<abu[m]>
I meand cadddr
<cpli>
semicolon really isn't meshing well with my paredit either
<abu[m]>
Oh, I see. Thinks it is a comment perhaps
<cpli>
definitely.
<abu[m]>
(set (cadddr (cadr f)) (lit f)) works fine too
<cpli>
less is supposedly undefined q-q
<abu[m]>
'lit' is a cons with quote
<abu[m]>
I think you did not start in debug mode.
<abu[m]>
$ pil +
<cpli>
abu[m]: i will not change my code to fit my editor, i will use a different editor before it starts influencing the characters i'm allowed to type :(
<abu[m]>
:)
<cpli>
abu[m]: starting pl in debug mode doesn't make less available in my file
<abu[m]>
Hmm
<abu[m]>
I think you have an older pil. 'less' used to be only in debug mode
<abu[m]>
Current pil has less even in non-debug
<cpli>
also, just so that were all clear, this is my first engagement with picolisp and it's surprising me with everything i read of it, and write of it
aw- has joined #picolisp
<abu[m]>
: (version)
<cpli>
abu[m]: pil -version yields: 23.3.30
<abu[m]>
ok :)
<abu[m]>
oh, very new
<abu[m]>
strange
<cpli>
built it just now o-o, would hope the git package on the AUR wasn't outdated
<cpli>
abu[m]: i ran (LOAD "<file>")
<cpli>
running the file directly yields the expected print
<abu[m]>
Yes, fine
<abu[m]>
or : pil <file> +
<abu[m]>
: (pp 'less) should give (de less (X N) ...
<cpli>
abu[m]: would you know if pil has readtables?
<cpli>
i.e. can i implement the funny #n=( #n# as a reader macro?
<abu[m]>
No, because pil supports (reading and printing etc.) only top level circularity
<abu[m]>
(a b c .) or (a b . (c d .))
<abu[m]>
You coul use 'fill' or 'patch'
<abu[m]>
(patch f 'F (lit f))
<abu[m]>
more readable than the 'set'
<abu[m]>
if you want to get rid of the 'lit': (patch f 'F (cons 'quote f))
<cpli>
is there some cheat sheet for common lispers to migrate to pil?
<cpli>
i.e. where's my progn o-o
<abu[m]>
I don't know of any doc about the differences to CL
<abu[m]>
'progn' is just 'prog' in Pil
<abu[m]>
prog1 and prog2 are the same
<cpli>
is there gensym?
<abu[m]>
(new) or (box)
<abu[m]>
Just (box) will do
<cpli>
abu[m]: lambda?
<abu[m]>
It is 'quote'
<abu[m]>
(def 'lambda quote) if you like
<abu[m]>
(code *is* data) ;)
<abu[m]>
(mapcar '((N) (* NN )) Lst) is (mapcar (quote (N) (* N N)) Lst)
<cpli>
lord, that's elegant
