Clojure and a PicoLisp database via HTTP

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

If you follow me on twitter you might have read that I tried Riak at one point but then switched to Cassandra, anyway, one of the things with Riak that struck me as nice was the fact that you could access any node through HTTP.... Read More

How to write a big app in an obscure Lisp dialect

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Wow, were do I start. To begin with VizReader is the application in question. It’s a pretty weird thing but I love it. I get a small whiff of the same feeling I had when I was a kid and played Dragon’s Breath on the Amiga. Dragon’s Breath was both a weird and wonderful game at the same time and it makes me proud that I have managed to create something that gives me a little bit of that feeling.... Read More

On PicoLisp’s Wikipedia woes and the process of promoting a language

Factorials, permutations and recursion in Pico Lisp

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Pilog solve and the +Aux relation

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I just set out to duplicate the Doctrine for dummies example, but this time for real, with a real OODB system, not some silly ORM :) Thanks goes to Alex for helping me out with the queries.... Read More

jQuery and Pico Lisp

Monday, October 6th, 2008

The heart of the problem with making jQuery.post work with the PicoLisp server is simple once found (thanks to Alex for helping me find it). Apache seems to use the Content-Length header to determine the length of the argument sent by XMLHttpRequest.send(), the Pico server doesn’t bother with determining the the length. It looks for a newline at the end instead.... Read More

Calling Ruby scripts from Pico Lisp

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I give up. There you have it, the confession. Too much basic stuff is lacking from Pico, as you might know we’ve covered both a way of matching a la PHP’s preg_match and JSON. I’ve realized however that I’m never gonna be finished creating a proper application doing it in 100% Pico.... Read More
