It falls off the end, or you stop it explicitly with (co 'f)
<geri>
ah, thanks

is parallelism possible in pil?
<abu[7]>
Only via processes (fork, pipe)
<geri>
hm
<geri>
i was trying to figure out a difference between coroutines and threads and wherever i look its always "coroutines are just lightweight threads"
<geri>
and never anything about multithreading
<abu[7]>
T
<abu[7]>
See the FAQ
<abu[7]>
"Can I run threads?"
<geri>
i know that picolisp doesnt have threads
<geri>
i was just wondering if that means you cant do parallel processing
<abu[7]>
Not possible
<abu[7]>
binding
<abu[7]>
All threads run in thc same env
<geri>
and there's only one dynamic env in pil
<abu[7]>
yeah
<abu[7]>
coroutines run cooperatively and thus can handle that
<abu[7]>
but threads can't
<geri>
yeah, makes sense
<abu[7]>
I think processes are better anyway
<abu[7]>
less syncing
<abu[7]>
Threads are also processes, just share the heap
<geri>
i was thinking that using linked lists for environment in a lexically scoped lisp wouldnt be horrible in general because functions rarely take more than 10 parameters and until 50+ or so (hadn't checked) params apparently alists are faster than hash tables
<geri>
:D
<abu[7]>
Its not only fun parameters, but all variables though
<geri>
top level really shouldn't be a linked list, yeah
<geri>
"oh you wanna know what value symbol + has? wait a second while we're sequentially searching for it"
<geri>
"... in 7 billion builtins"
<abu[7]>

<geri>
are you used to the swipeboard yet?
<abu[7]>
Ycs, better and better :)
<geri>
idr if i said it before, but apparently in japan they use swipe keyboard on mobile phones that have a layout a la t9
<geri>
i use it for typing japanese and it's pretty cool
<geri>
probably very similar to yours tbh
<abu[7]>
I see, cool
<geri>
do you actually use one finger or both thumbs?
<abu[7]>
One finger, but varying
<abu[7]>
Mostly index
<abu[7]>
but sometimes middle or thumb, even left hand if necestary
<geri>
i like that this keyboard has a very phone-friendly format
<geri>
the previous one is probably not very nice on a phone, although probably usable
<abu[7]>
Steno should be usable on a smartwatch
<beneroth_>
yeah smartcatch with Steno is a great idea!
<beneroth_>
(much better than on AR glasses ^^=
<geri>
i like the idea of monitor glasses, but implementation is kinda eh
<geri>
like vr goggles for a workspace, but less obstructive
<geri>
get a keyboard, connect it all to phone and indistinguishable from a pc
<beneroth_>
that already works. The phone "librem 5" by purism is a nice working debian phone, well usable as a debian desktop. not really usable as a phone because the battery duration is really bad.
<beneroth_>
maybe it got better with software updates, I should try again.
<geri>
if you have a phone then do use it please xd
<geri>
we need our pure linux phones
<geri>
also, going afk for 9 hours, laters
<abu[7]>
Sleep well! o/
<geri>
thank you 🙇
