I've written, compiled, and run O'Caml programs comfortably on a 486DX
(33MHz maybe?) with 8MB of RAM.  The compiler/interpreter takes up a
non-trivial amount of hard disk space (around 30MB), but since the
natively compiled executables are statically linked with the O'Caml
libraries, they can be distributed without any more dependencies than
that of a C binary.  At runtime, O'Caml programs generally use around
half a megabyte of RAM, which is not much more than an equivalent C
program.
