Re:Janet: a lightweight, expressive and modern Lisp

More precisely, Lisp
... without cons,
without arbitrary precision integers, fixed precision integers, rationals and complex numbers,
without image-based development,
without the conditions-restart system,
without CLOS,
etc.
It's interesting to note, since Janet is a bytecode interpreter, that we've have had a full Common Lisp implementation for years (CLISP) that provides all the features above (plus many many others) with a download size (1.8MB) just slightly bigge than to Janet's.
