Very impressive. But it didn't have a metacircular evaluator! sectorlisp does.

I see there is a metacircular evaluator in the repository (lisp.lisp), but I don't see where that is pulled into the image.

In the BASIC heyday, there existed compilers for BASIC (some of them written in BASIC). These didn't ship in the ROM images either, they were third-party apps.
