some ideas for the future:

  • things specific to this repl:
    • saving & loading repl sessions somehow
    • collections of broadly useful functions that can be loaded into the repl
  • optimization:
    • lazy evaluation
    • recognizing when reducing a term forms an endless loop and stopping reduction of that term
    • trampolining for reduction to prevent stack overflow
    • memoization
    • some more efficient way of storing & reducing functions based on finding expressions that occur in several parts of a program? probably related to the above
