That's non sequitur. Lets quote the entire context:

> the Dylan IDE written in Macintosh Common Lisp needed 20 MB RAM

How much RAM other IDEs used at the time?

[kazinator]

That's less memory than Firefox will leak between the time I end the last word of this sentence and type the punctuating period.

>That's non sequitur. At the time Dylan IDE existed it regularly consumed 3/4 of all RAM. So bragging about it being only 20MB is like bragging your app only consumes 12GB of RAM today.

[lispm]

That's the point. Today the same Lisp IDE would not need 12GB and would nicely run on a Raspberry Pi.

Only If you're fine with using twenty year old software and port it to modern hardware such as raspberry PI.
