SANSKRIT Inspiration
SANSKRIT continues to draw inspiration from the following and similar successful noble initiatives.
Freedom in Software
Operating Systems: FLOSS, FSF, GNU, Debian, BSDs and others

Programming: PicoLisp Philosophy
Perfection is attained
not when there is nothing left to add
but when there is nothing left to take away.
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
- Useful
- Simple
- Small
- Predictable
- Understandable
- Complete control
- Transparency: One knows everything about the internal machinery, because the internal implementation is drastically simplified to the core.
- Unifying by using the same syntax and philosophy all along the way. Unifying Language for Database and User Interface Development is a blessing.

The PicoLisp Machine An important point in the PicoLisp philosophy is the knowledge about the architecture and data structures of the internal machinery. The high-level constructs of the programming language directly map to that machinery, making the whole system both understandable and predictable.
This is similar to assembly language programming, where the programmer has complete control over the machine.

In most modern programming languages, this is intransparent for the programmer, who shouldn't know and also shouldn't care. This is a big difference to the PicoLisp philosophy and one of the main reasons why it is so interesting to learn:
In PicoLisp, you know everything about the internal machinery.
And the reason for this is because the internal implementation is drastically simplified to the core. The high-level constructs of the programming language directly map to that machinery, making it understandable and predictable. In this regards, it is similar to assembly language programming, where the programmer has complete control over the machine.

The philosophy of cross-compiling a program for the target seems to be the most popular choice among microcontroller aficionados.

… A Radical Approach to Application Development (PDF) and A Unifying Language for Database And User Interface Development are the next logical steps to learn more about the philosophy behind PicoLisp.
