A micro-Lisp compiler (to x86 executable) in about 100 lines of OMeta: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009011_chns_mng.pdf

examples given which run about 70% of the speed of equivalent C code.



That's a nice one, albeit several simplifications are made in there (e.g. from a quick glance I could not find anything dealing with scopes [the prefixing with "_V_" for variables might probably hint at its non-existence]).

Nevertheless, impressive work from one of the most interesting projects around.
