@alecui@qoto.org Not a microcontroller, but Symbolics had hardware
machines in the 1980s whose lowest-level language was lisp. Of course,
the instruction set was designed for it. One strategy used for early
hardware initialization (which ran out of ROM) was to simply avoid
runtime dynamic behavior, e.g. manually allocate and free objects
rather than relying on GC.
