Henderson's LispKit ran on the Apple II, which was pretty small, and LispKit was basically a lazy Lisp. To that degree, yes you *can* run something "like" Haskell with mere kilobytes. See ftp://ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk/pub/Documents/techpapers/Geraint.Jones/PRG-TM-32.pdf To think that when I met LispKit, I said "oh, it's not a *real* Lisp" and turned away. Talk about missing the point!
