Hasn't sectorlisp rendered all these things superfluous?
So, yes, everybody can now relax if they want to write a small and self-contained lisp. Unless that's your jam, you don't need to worry about the bytes. Just make it work, and keep it simple.
The question becomes "what does this lisp implementation add". Well, compared sectorlisp, it's a breeze to read. It's really well documented, too (to be fair, sectorlisp's writeup is a great read).
