few edge cases
even smaller than Sector Lisp
2 types - List and Atom
led to BLC
GC more pure than that of McCarthy
GC very, very small (40 bytes)
no mutation, no heap
essential complexity?
complete language in <512 bytes[sic]
Yet, we use General purpose Programming Languages (GPLs), like Python, Rust, etc. daily which result in apps that need MBytes of memory.
or, is there something wrong with what we’re doing? and how we’re doing it?
Sector Lisp - FP pure as the driven snow
is this just a difference in problem complexity?
It takes only a few bytes to express save
.
Why does this memory footprint disparity exist?
In assembler, mutation is one opcode MOV
.
