Lisp with GC in 436 Bytes


LISP engine that's tiny enough to fit in a 512-byte master boot record

The shell script above will curl a GNU Readline replacement we wrote called Bestline from this same domain (justine.lol) to make sure you have the latest copy, because we've been slowly but steadily recreating support for Emacs' famous Paredit-style editing features. Since microoptimizations are very highly prized in arithmetic, one way we might do that with SectorLISP by using builtins more and taking advantage of friendly branch features, such as dot cons literals which let us remove a CAR call. The musical track is an instrumental recording of Das Model by Kraftwerk from 1978. Credit for the UNICODE paragraph separator trick for C / JS polyglots goes to a code golfer from Estonia named randomdude999.
