  A similar thing happened in 2011 when the picolisp project published a 'ticker', something like a markov chain generating pages on the fly. https://picolisp.com/wiki/?ticker It's a nice type of honeypot. - Source: Hacker News / 30 days ago

• PicoLisp Tutorials

  I love(d) PicoLisp. I have run Windows, Linux (many flavors on many machines), and MacOS, but my working OS is Windows, and I could not get the x64 PicoLisp running on Windows back then without using Cygwin or MinGW. I can run it on WSL[1], however, it still requires a POSIX environment. Is there a way to compile a Windows binary without the POSIX required for a working PicoLisp environment? I know it switched to... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

With some unix-y thinking, one could probably also accomplish some other useful tricks on the address bar, simply by writing a string substitution one-liner into the rc file. Compare that to about:config, Add-ons, etc. Ha. I somehow also very much enjoyed the not-so-good... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Which lisp should I learn first?

  Sure, PicoLisp (https://picolisp.com/wiki) is pretty cool. As implied by the name, it is even smaller than a modern Scheme, but it has some neat features including a built-in database that you can query Prolog-style, and baked-in dead-simple FFI for C (which it's written in) and Java (if you connect it to a running JVM). It is only available on Linux (though that includes WSL), so if you want to run it on a Mac... Source: almost 3 years ago
