From t1spec.pdf:

"Postfix source code can be readily serialized into an executable format running on threaded code, a well-known code generation method that can allow for a very small compiled code footprint"

What's that method?



You take each symbol in sequence and append a reference to the compilation output. It's super easy and it results in a very small code footprint (it can often be smaller than compiled C for equivalent code).
