On the subject of runtime support I'd like to point out a very interesting
article on RTS for a functional language by Andrew Appel, in


"A Runtime System"
Andrew W. Appel
Lisp and Symbolic Computation, no. 3 1990, pp. 343-380


Especially the size is impressive, < 2000 lines of C+assembler
including garbage collection. I/O is done by writing the library in
the functional language itself (Standard ML).
