Thanks for that link. The comments there help a lot. If I understand them, this is a minimal implementation of K with a lot of limitations, such as:

"the only supported atom/vector type is 8bit integer, so beware of overflows"

Still, it's fascinating how an interpreter can be written with such a small amount of code.



An interpreter for BLC, including tokenizing, parsing, and evaluation, can be written in as few as 29 bytes of BLC (and 650 bytes of C).


John, do tell more about BLC please!


There's more at http://tromp.github.io/cl/cl.html including the LispNYC talk I gave last year.


Thank you!
