zep.p8Picotron Playground -- an experimental web-based edition of my WIP Fantasy Workstation -- is OUT NOW! It includes a code editor and terminal program for poking around some demos of the #picotron API and runtime.
fsouchu@zep Picotron v7 raises an error on nil table iterator. Expected?
for i,v in pairs(nil) do
end
>>bad argument #1...

Mm, no. Iterating on a nil table should be an error, not a nop. In most cases passing nil to an iterator suggests that the input variable was not derived correctly or that the code that was supposed to create a table in it failed, and the author needs to debug the code that created it. Doing a nop on nil just makes it harder for people to track down bugs.
