I suppose that prior art influences things. In my case, I went "a separate text editor won't fit, I need a REPL", and that basically filtered to just Forth and Lisp. It would be interesting to see what subset of Lisp would fit in a bootsector, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
- na85 5y agoThere's sectorlisp that appears to fit into two sectors but is yet shy of their single-sector goal: https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp
- jart 5y agosectorlisp right now is 800 bytes but it implements LISP well enough that you can use its built-in LISP IDE to implement your own LISP engine on top of sectorlisp using high-level functional programming techniques. https://youtu.be/hvTHZ6E0Abo https://youtu.be/hvTHZ6E0Abo If we can trim down the code size another 250 bytes then all this will fit in the master boot record.
