Hi, I just got hold of the Pico language. It used to be BSD licensed but now changes its license to GPL. The packages are "tpico2" and "tpico2-experimental" in pkgsrc-wip. I'm just posting this as its a Scheme based language which is quite interesting. I still need to remove comments, change license headers and so on but the owner should be clear from the README etc in tpico2-experimental. So, just give me some time after vacation to fix all that. Note also that it uses a specific readline version 5.0, not the usual I mean. Later on, I will probably also remove this sole library dependency by just parsing a newline and putting it in a Pico Sesssion or Do. This package should probably go in current especially as it's in lang/devel, but I am not going to do that myself. Just give me some time to fix the above and enjoy the new open Pico language which is a lambda calculus based language where you can post packages for or just code the heck out of it. Best regards, Johan
