   @theruran @psf @vidak Hmmmm, I think the Reduceron better inspiration there...

   Its a stack machine that has been prototyped on an FPGA which uses ultra-wide memory buses & independently-addressed memory to optimize substituting in a function's arguments into a function body. Includes a builtin garbage collector.

   Its specifically designed for Haskell & similar languages, and performance testing shows promise according to the researchers.

     @psf @vidak why coerce a LISP machine onto a microprocessor implementing an Abstract C Machine?

     the hardware should match closely to the primitives of the high-level LISP language - I'm thinking like the abstract machine defined in the VLISP literature based on Scheme48.
