newLISP runs on anything Linux, even minimal once, like Android.



The only library really required is libc, although most make-files in the distribution also specify libreadline to support editing on the REPL. CoreOS also includes libreadline as a standard lib.



Many of the newLISP modules would be supported too. There is librcrypto, libsqlite3, etc. and they work with the simple FFI in newLISP which does not require libffi (1) but only libc.



So CoreOS and Docker shouldn't be a problem.





(1) just found out, libffi is also installed on CoreOS

Sorry missed this. Thank you.

I tried CoreOS back in December after your post and newLISP compiled without difficulties for Linux.
