Fitting a Lisp into 64K bytes of memory
Original: LISPy things you can do in 64K bytes of core (2019)
A 2019 write-up on t3x.org about implementing Lisp within 64K bytes of core memory is drawing fresh attention, drawing comments about how much can be achieved with severe hardware constraints. Readers are discussing the techniques used to squeeze an interpreter, memory management and classic Lisp features into space that modern software rarely considers.
Why now: Programmers enjoy revisiting minimalist implementations that contrast sharply with today's bloated software environments.
