ZeptoLisp Interpreter

What is ZeptoLisp?

ZeptoLisp is a dialect of the lisp language family intended to have only the most basic structures and functions built into the language. Other extra features can be implemented on top of the core language as external libraries. Its small size will make it useful as a scripting language engine embeddable in larger applications.
A simple tutorial is available here .
