#Picolisp

In the latest #OpenStreetMap (OSM) database, there are over 457K entries of establishments that serve food (e.g. restaurants, fast food joints, coffee shops, etc) in North America.

I'm thinking about resurrecting my restaurant proximity checker (a way to look for nearby restaurants without using Google Maps and other "trackers"). It was a web service I ran for a while that used a distilled OSM database and #picolisp to allow you to look up places to eat without feeding "big adtech".

This will probably be the subject of AWKzine Issue #2 (my #awk tool collection -- see my pinned post).

@glitzersachen How about good old IRC? For example, I'm all the time in #picolisp at libera.chat (irc://irc.libera.chat), but there are also channels for Common Lisp and Scheme

@thinkberg I am a huge fan of #PicoLisp. Small, fast, and pragmatic. The assembler among Lisps. :-) Unfortunately, it is not available in the #OpenBSD ports. However, I have written a short manual: rt.fm/picolisp.txt

@mousebot ... unless you take FEXPRs like in #PicoLisp - they are better than #Lisp macros because they are normal functions, more readable, and can be debugged (e.g. single-stepped).

@tiang I write 90% of my scripts in #PicoLisp.

@symbolics @weekend_editor @rzeta0 In #PicoLisp probably the shortest way is with 'cnt':

: (cnt t '(a b c d))
-> 4

('t' is a function which always returns 'T')

@rzeta0 In #PicoLisp it is 'conc'. IIRC that is 'nconc' in CL

@pedromj @rzeta0 I think so too. Tail recursion is just an obfuscated loop. That's why I hesitated nearly 40 years to implement it in #PicoLisp.

@rzeta0 Oops, found a typo. The last 'cadr' must be 'caddr' :

pb1n.de/?3c4b41

Did not test all braches ;)
