Hi list, with help and substancial input from Eric (Schulte) I added a
new language to org-babel, the minimal lisp dialect picolisp [thanks to
Eric!]. You can download the ob-picolisp.el file here:
https://github.com/tj64/ob-picolisp
Here is the README text as a little introduction to picolisp:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| README
|
| This Emacs library enables the use of PicoLisp in the multi-language
| programming framework Org-Babel
| (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.html).
|
| PicoLisp is a minimal yet fascinating lisp dialect and a highly
| productive application framework for web-based client-server
| applications on top of object-oriented databases. A good way to learn
| PicoLisp is to first read Paul Grahams essay "The hundred year
| language" (http://www.paulgraham.com/hundred.html) and then study the
| various documents and essays published in the PicoLisp wiki
| (http://picolisp.com/5000/-2.html). PicoLisp is included in some
| GNU/Linux Distributions, and can be downloaded here:
| http://software-lab.de/down.html. It ships with a picolisp-mode and a
| inferior-picolisp-mode for Emacs (to be found in the /lib/el/
| directory).
|
| Although it might seem more natural to use Emacs Lisp for most
| Lisp-based programming tasks inside Org-Mode (http://orgmode.org/), an
| Emacs library written in Emacs Lisp, PicoLisp has at least two
| outstanding features that make it a valuable addition to Org-Babel:
|
| PicoLisp _is_ an object-oriented database with a Prolog-based query
| language implemented in PicoLisp (Pilog). Database objects are
| first-class members of the language.
|
| PicoLisp is an extremely productive framework for the development
| of interactive web-applications (on top of a database).

This is great, thanks for sharing. Btw, picolisp looks way cool.
Eric, I think this library could go to contrib/babel/langs/ and
then to core when Thorsten is all set with the FSF assignment.
I let you decide on this.
Best,

Agreed.
Thorsten, if copying ob-picolisp to contrib/babel/langs until your FSF
paperwork is completed sounds agreeable to you I will move it over now.
Let me know.

Thats what I thought when I discovered it, so simple and so smart at the
same time.
Maybe the perfect language for an Emacs rewrite ... just kidding ;)
