8k ... well, looks like totally bloated ... somebody implemented Ian
Piumarta's Lysp in Free Pascal, using 192 lines of code only. I haven't
tested, but should come out at under 4k, one memory page for the binary.

Finally, to execute Lisp like code, you only need to implement a lambda
calculus, perhaps some alpha, beta reductions, caching on top to gain some
speed ...

That group implemented a whole operating system in MetaCola language within
20.000 lines of code only. GUI, TrueType Fonts, mouse, keyboard driver ...
everything included, called "Frank" for Frank - enstein.

I've seen that "Frankenstein OS" booting on bare Intel metal and working
quite well.

Have fun!
