I don't think the description as minimal was intended in any formal way. It's informally minimal in the sense that it features less complexity than more well known languages like C or Fortran.
A formal notion of a minimal language/machine gets messy anyway and is of limited utility even in a purely academic context, as far as I know.

- zoren 9y agoI don't think it was intended in the formal sense either. But "minimalistic" or "small" would probably be more suitable.
