sectorlisp: A 512-Byte LISP Implementation

sectorlisp is a groundbreaking 512-byte implementation of LISP capable of bootstrapping John McCarthy's meta-circular evaluator on bare metal. Stripping LISP down to its essentials, this project offers implementations in LISP, C, and i8086 assembly, the latter even booting from BIOS. This makes it arguably the smallest true LISP implementation to date.
