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. Deceptively straightforward things like map and apply can cons up a whopping amount of intermediate garbage.
