• Eight primitives and a colon compiler in 512 bytes is a nice demonstration of how much you can bootstrap from almost nothing. The examples building up from there are the best part.
  • Not that impressive considering this uses BIOS routines heavily and whole operating systems including basic interpreter fit in a couple of KiB
    • 512 bytes is quite a bit less than "a couple of kilobytes"
      • It's much better than 512, it fits in 336 bytes iirc.
