I forgot to mention the title :
PICOBIT: A Compact Scheme System for Microcontrollers

Here's the abstract :
Due to their tight memory constraints, small microcontroller based
embedded systems have traditionally been implemented using low-level
languages.  This paper shows that the Scheme programming language can
also be used for such applications, with less than 7~kB of total
memory.  We present PICOBIT, a very compact implementation of Scheme
suitable for memory constrained embedded systems.  To achieve a
compact system we have tackled the space issue in three ways: the
design of a Scheme compiler generating compact bytecode, a small
virtual machine, and an optimizing C compiler suited to the
compilation of the virtual machine.
