'''PicoLisp''' is a small and fast interpreted [[Lisp]] dialect.
It runs on [[Linux]] and other [[POSIX]]-compliant systems, and - in a reduced version - on [[JVM]].
Its most prominent feature is "simplicity". It is built on top of a single internal data type (the cell), without giving up flexibility and expressive power.
On the language level, it supports just three data types (numbers, symbols and lists), constructed from internal cells.
PicoLisp programs are often more succinct - and at the same time faster - than those of other interpreted languages.
A special feature is the intrinsic database functionality: Persistent symbols are first-class objects, and applications are written using a class hierarchy of entities and relations.
Other features include a [
