There are a lot of languages that are actually pretty small if you just boil them down to their primitives. Prolog and most other rule engines, especially CLIPS, jump to mind. ANSI C and SML. SML in particular is cute if you use your tiny Prolog to implement the type system ;-)

That sounds pretty cool; do you know of an implementation of SML that fits into 10 KB of memory because it uses tiny Prolog?


I do not. As far as I'm aware, SML is much like C in that despite being a relatively simple language, there aren't many toy implementations floating around.
