# fe
A *tiny*, embeddable language implemented in ANSI C
```clojure
(= reverse (fn (lst)
(let res nil)
(while lst
(= res (cons (car lst) res))
(= lst (cdr lst))
)
res
))
(= animals '("cat" "dog" "fox"))
(print (reverse animals)) ; => ("fox" "dog" "cat")
```

* Lexically scoped variables, closures
* Small memory usage within a fixed-sized memory region — no mallocs
* Simple mark and sweep garbage collector
* Easy to use C API
* Portable ANSI C — works on 32 and 64bit
* Concise — less than 800 sloc
