Hi Jon, > Does it mean that the standard macOS “make” is too old? (It’s possible.)
No idea. I think any make is OK, no special requirements. > Have you considered implementing PicoLisp in Zig? > https://ziglang.org <https://ziglang.org/> Also no idea, never heard of. No, the point is that I want to write it in *PicoLisp*. pil21 is a compiler converting PicoLisp syntax to LLVM-IR (check the sources in "src/"). The current generic assembly of pil64 is probably the most efficient way, but not portable to machines without hardware CPU condition flags (like RISC-V), and we also have these problems (though principially solvable) with position- independent x86 code (like on MacOS). Another major reason is that iOS requires LLVM. Also, I suspect that Zig does *not* support other necessary features like direct stack control (needed for coroutines) or condition code (like carry flags, needed for bignums). ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
