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.
