I suspect you might think I demand that every byte is used absolutely optimally.

I'm sure some crazy chap out there could write this application with only a few hundred bytes of memory, but that's beside the point.

For a lot of my projects I use SBCL. The runtime for SBCL is 50MB. That would be a deal breaker for me in 1995, but it is a reasonable tradeoff for the increased productivity I get from it compared to slimmer runtimes.

Huh, I very rarely hear about people using Common Lisp these days. Or Lisp at all, outside of Emacs Lisp (stories of Emacs Lisp often being tied to their nasty core dump hack).

What are your reasons for sticking to Common Lisp?

50MB "runtime" sounds quite extreme, even in this day and age. That's 2.5x the consumption of a fresh Node.js instance on my machine. :/
