I recall running Haskell-like programs (compiled by Gofer, the predecessor of Hugs) on a machine with 256Kb of memory, back in the early 1990s. They were smallish programs of course. The interpreter/ RTS was about 50Kb, the bytecode for the program took up a few Kb, and there was about 100Kb of stack and heap combined, so I was not even using the full capacity of the machine.
