I second that, In 1989+ we had 7270 "smart" terminals connected to IBM360-line mainframes, (in our University) those "smart" terminal were having 64K of RAM and were allowing FORTH there, and this combination was efficient enough to have plenty of ASCII-based games, and for us to having programmer's fun. This is why I also thought about FORTH, But - still - LISP have similar background of history, so if there is no task of having entire COMMON LISP standard there - then just reasonable subset is really possible. My intuition says to me that FORTH is easier to strip down. However - ECL has closer connection to C, which will make your life easier. Regards, Vadim.
