talked about smalllisp

aside: Lisp is assembler, but, with a recursive syntax

advantage of pure FP: allocation is always stack based, no need for full-blown GC, GC can be simple & optimized with knowledge of stack-based allocation

0D in Common Lisp

then, replace ASCII glyph with Unicode glyph (UTF-8?), to make smalllisp be Unicode compatible

talked about “Square Meal” lisp game jam entry

talked about PEGs in Janet - used to browse Python files

not discussed (time limitations)

foresee - replace car of atoms with single glyph instead of packed glyphs (“efficiency” not as big a concern in 2024 as it was in 1950s)

foresee: smalllisp as tiny “embedded” language to compute, called by another language (e.g. statechart) which deals with mutation and storing), i.e. don’t “bloat” FP with mutation

I stumbled across Forsp while thinking about CBPV and minimalist bootstrapping languages (unrelated project). It kind of just appeared and then has continued to surprise me. In many ways it feels more fundamental than Lisp or Forth. It appears to be both simpler than Lisp and more powerful than Forth.
