Nice write up. I'm not sure "Lispified" assembly language really counts as functional programming though. It suggests a layering approach that I suggested originally. Of course, Lisps ubiquitous linked-list and dynamic types are issues for efficient compilation that are not shared by every functional language. The Mirage project is having a lot of success writing a lot of low-level code in OCaml.
