Kilo Lisp: A Kilo Byte-Sized Lisp System

It looks like your lisp has a lot of built-in/primitives, I'll have to explore!
I also wrote a simple lisp in go, in my case I added LSP support for completion and help-on-hover, which was a fun addition I've not seen in anything else.

Radiation-hardened Quine: A quine that works after any one character is deleted

concise code vs code longer than necessary.

Don't write code like the obfuscated C code contest. Don't spend too much time modifying working code to make it shorter, especially if there's no end-user perceivable speed increase.

Just found one after replying to another comment on this story.

It apparently works somewhat after a few minor tweaks.

The first one is "a bit" obscure. If you give up (which means you've passed the human test... if you do not give up, report for alien termination) check out the description
An HTTP server in a single .c file

One of 2004 IOCCC winners (2004/hibachi [1]) was a CGI and vhost capable HTTP server. It is one of a few winning entries that ever came with its own ./configure, and violated so many guidelines but not a single rule, making judges pretty upset.
