Running a Lisp interpreter in 64K bytes of memory
Original: LISPy things you can do in 64K bytes of core (2019)
A 2019 article by programmer Nils Holm at t3x.org describes what can be done with a Lisp system that fits in 64 kilobytes of memory, the address space of classic minicomputers and early microcomputers. The write-up covers how a compact Lisp interpreter can be squeezed into that limit, and it is drawing fresh attention as readers revisit minimal, retro-style programming projects.
Why now: Tech readers are revisiting this 2019 piece because compact, minimalist Lisp implementations on old hardware continue to appeal to the retro-computing community.
