Bytecode interpreters for tiny computers (2007)
That is cool, it looks like Python, how did they get it so small? Is it garbage collected? Is the interpreter entirely resident in the Arduino or does it rely on an external communication app hosting the compiler? That approach is actually underutilized in my opinion.
I gotta say that AVR Arduino hardware is almost silly by now. The Raspberry Pi Pico is probably the successor basic MCU board these days. It costs $4 retail, and has a dual ARM M0+ cpu with 264KB of ram and 2MB of SPI flash, so it can run Micropython and other relatively full featured software.
Also check out my old favorite Hedgehog Lisp: https://github.com/sbp/hedgehog
It's a functional-style Lisp dialect whose VM is 20K bytes. It uses an external ahead-of-time compiler, no resident interpreter.

uLisp on the Raspberry Pi Pico
Ulisp is cute but (when I looked at it a while back) way too limited and inefficient. My favourite Lisp of this type is Hedgehog, which should run very nicely on a Pi Pico. Its main drawback is it has no REPL, but instead uses a separate byte-compiler that for some reason is written in C.

A small scheme VM, compiler, and REPL in 4k
The rib encoding looks very clever. I need to digest the full implications of that.
> 4KB is impressively tiny, but any machine where 4k vs 20k makes a big difference is unlikely to have enough ram to run garbage collected applications.
Yeah, the paper itself says that the heap was 240K. A 4K system isn't very helpful if your heap is 240K.
I'd like to see how this runs (if at all) with a 4K heap.
> I would like to have seen Hedgehog Lisp ( https://github.com/sbp/hedgehog ) in the comparison chart, since it has actually been used for practical projects
