    1. ugl i love cleaning up code so much. it takes some work but its worth it when you can align your intent and the text of your program. heres a before and after of jn's eval function (important!) with a weird edge case ironed out of it.

    the text of the new eval reads like what it does 1. analyze the form into an ast 2. compile the ast into bytecode 3. emit the bytecode into a module 4. run optimizations on the module 5. write the optimized module to memory 6. run evaluation code (if any) 7. return result 😙👌
