[clean-list] why does this program use so little memory?

[Isaac Gouy]

Someone has finally asked for an explanation why this Clean program on
the Computer Language Shootout seems to use so much less memory than
the other programs.

I can only speculate, so I'd appreciate more knowledgeable
explanations.
