btw I watched the PISCES FPGA intro a year ago or the like, whatever happened to that?
<anddam>
the PISCES with PilOS seemed something very interesting

Not sure, Geo is still on it

Hello everyone. Happy holidays :)
<Regenaxer>
Hi mtsd!! o/
<anddam>
ever since I read about the "real computer" story, dissing unix in favor of symbolics machine I got very fascinated
<m_mans>
Hi all!
<Regenaxer>
Cheers m_mans!

Hi m_mans!
<anddam>
btw I'm trying Mezzano in virtualbox
<anddam>
I'm astonished
<anddam>
I mean I think I am too used thinking in a UNIX way, I cannot start to imagine what's to build a graphic environment in a world so different
<anddam>
and one of the McCLIM demo crashed, I got the REPL with the usual choices and I just aborted the execution
<anddam>
but I figure that's the "running debugging" capability I was reading about, i.e. I could have read the failing function, replaced it and resume execution
<anddam>
right?
<Regenaxer>
I don't know Mezzano, but in pil you can fix a running program, yes, and continue. But the error point itself throws to the top level (with 'quit) after hitting <return>
<Regenaxer>
A typical pil web app continues, e.g. on the next click in the browser gui
<Regenaxer>
Usually even an explicit 'load' is not needed, as gui pages are loaded anyway automatically
<anddam>
"Vip is included in the PicoLisp distribution. It consists of the library in "@lib/vip.l" and an executable front-end "@bin/vip".
<anddam>
on my Ubuntu system picolisp package only has
<anddam>
$ dpkg -L picolisp | ag vip
<anddam>
/usr/share/picolisp/lib/vip.l
<anddam>
should I file a bug for the missing bin/vip frontend?
<Regenaxer>
The Ubuntu package is criminally outdated
<Regenaxer>
Current is 19.12
<Regenaxer>
I always recommend to keep the global version, and use it to bootstrap a local one
<anddam>
how do you bootstrap it? simply copying?
<Regenaxer>
It is described in the INSTALL file
<anddam>
will check it
<Regenaxer>
I usually have one global from the distro, and several local ones
<Regenaxer>
btw, bin/vip will probably not run as the path is in the first line. I use a "vip" script in some PATH directory with one line, e.g. in Termux this is:
