I find it interesting that they positon newlisp as being "for embedded systems", because from everything I've read it requires a Unix system to run on.

Anyone here running newlisp on a microcontroller or similar and able to comment?

A few years ago I compiled it on my old Nokia N900 - not a microcontroller of course, but limited than my desktop computer. I was even able to host simple websites on it using Dragonfly Web Framework for newLISP (I'm one of the authors).

It's been a while since I used it on "embedded systems" but in our case it was running on top of OpenWRT and OpenBSD on appliance-like SOC systems (think of Soekris and Mikrotik), not directly on microcontrollers.
