Good to know.
Sadly he deleted his Reddit account, meaning that the story of how he got Nokolisp working bare-metal on a Nokia Communicator is lost to history. All the post headers are there, just marked

You probably only need access to DOS on your Communicator. To achieve this you need to create a file B:\NOKIA\INSTALL.BAT and reboot the communicator. From this batch file you can call Nokolisp. If "INSTALL.BAT" exits the normal GEOS shell will start.

It was much more complicated and much more impressive than that:

But I can't figure out how to install it, while I know how to build nokolisp with MASM. Thus the MSDOS based Nokolisp is more useful, at least for me.
BTW the cited HN posting contains at least one factual error: The Nokia Communicator 9110 was based on an 486SX SOC, not an 80186.
But to each his own.
For example it refers to B:/NOKIA/COMMAND.COM instead of MSDOS-standard C:/COMMAND.COM.
I think nokia.exe is just made by modifying it while running it and freezing the situation with (make-exe). Not a good practice, imho.

It's hard because you have to work around @timonoko's missing comments, but it's intringuing.
