It's true that CL's huge feature set promotes implementation bloat, but that doesn't completely rule out having a compact implementation.

In fact, mocl can run with only a few megabytes of memory, and has options to control the heap size.

If this seems unbelievable, feel free to stop by the mocl office in Redwood City, and I will explain it :)

Funny, I'll be in Redwood City tomorrow. Didn't know you guys were based there. Question for you: did you write your own implementation, or are you adapting something like ECL? Do you have any articles posted on how it works?

mocl derives from some past academic work, although not ECL. In spite of this, it is very much a new and unique implementation, and I have sunk years of dev time into making it a reality.

I may or may not be in the office Sunday... feel free to reach out (call/text the number on wukix.com).

The talk I gave at ECLM 2013, in Madrid, may be informative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l44kiFp1EJ8
