I tried a new Lisp dialect on it, my own hobby language. It could cope well given explanations initially, but with some degradation after a while.

(The standard context window is supposed to be 8k tokens.)

you might be able to do a 2 step process where you have it only highlight relevant sections of text given your task as an intermediate step. like a filter step before the task step.
