ARX, Arthur and RISC OS (2012)
Arthur Norman’s SKI Machine was interesting: rather than being LISP (as mentioned in the talk) it was a combinator reduction machine

- SK combinators are the way Miranda does lazy evaluation, so the SKI Machine was basically Miranda in hardware. Miranda was a forerunner of Haskell
