I understand the appeal from a hobby perspective, but is there any advantageous use cases where it would make sense to choose uLisp over other more common solutions for microcontroller software development?

I think it’s cool, and I’ve played with it a bit, but aside from using it as a fidget spinner to explore lisp, I’m wondering if there are applications for the language that would provide an edge in actual use.

Probably lower memory requirements compared to any other "not C or ASM" environment.

That could be interesting in some cases.

You can do basic Calculus with a single file used as a header.

A file? I’m not sure the context here ; we are talking about systems that in many cases do not have a file system?
