- deterministic 4y agoThat makes sense. It is only about 1k of C code and it seems to have everything you need to use it in practice. Including macros. Its interesting that Altair Basic is 10 times smaller than Tiny Lisp. Basic obviously doesn’t have the features (macros etc.) that Tiny Lisp has. But it looks as if it has what is needed to write practical (console) software. It wouldn’t surprise me if Forth would be the champion when it comes to minimum implementations.
