docs/TODO

   1 All:
   2     - rename stepA_interop to stepA_mal
   3     - test to check args set properly
   4     - test to make sure slurp captures final newline
   5     - make sure errors propagate/print properly when self-hosted
   6
   7     - change perf test to run for 10 seconds and then calculate number
   8       of iterations per second
   9     - redefine (defmacro!) as (def! (macro*))
  10     - runtest expect fixes:
  11         - stop using expect, so we can drop --raw option
  12         - fix long lines in runtext/expect
  13     - regular expression matching in runtest
  14     - add re (use in rep) everywhere and use that (to avoid printing)
  15     - Implement/fix interop
  16     - Print full exception when test gets EOF from expect
  17
  18     - metadata on symbols
  19     - metadata as a map only. ^ merges metadata in the reader itself.
  20       Line numbers in metadata from reader.
  21     - protocols!

  24     - namespaces
  25         - environments first class: *ENV*, *outer* defined by env-new
  26         - namespaces is *namespaces* map in environment which maps namespace
  27           names to other environments.
  28         - def! become an alias for (env-set! *ENV* 'sym value)
  29         - Namespace lookup: go up the environment hierarchy until
  30           a *namespaces* map is found with the namespace name being
  31           looked up. Then the symbol would be looked up starting in
  32           the namespace environment. Need protocols first probably.
  33     - Break out impl eval into step0.5
  34     - Fix quasiquoting of vectors
  35
  36     - Get self-host working at earlier step:
  37         - Move try* to step6
  38         - Remove macros from mal
  39
  40     - multi-line REPL read
  41     - loop/recur ?
  42     - gensym reader inside quasiquote
  43
  44     - per impl tests for step5_tco
