 Janet is a dynamic, lightweight programming language with strong functional
 capabilities as well as support for imperative programming. It to be used
 for short lived scripts as well as for building real programs. It can also
 be extended with native code (C modules) for better performance and interfacing with
 existing software. Janet takes ideas from Lua, Scheme, Racket, Clojure, Smalltalk, Erlang, Arc, and 
 a whole bunch of other dynamic languages.

 # Hello, world!
 Following tradition, a simple Janet program will print "Hello, world!".
 ```
 (print "Hello, world!")
 ```
 Put the following code in a file named `hello.janet`, and run `./janet hello.janet`.
 The words "Hello, world!" should be printed to the console, and then the program
 should immediately exit. You now have a working janet program!
 Alternatively, run the program `./janet` without any arguments to enter a REPL,
 or read eval print loop. This is a mode where Janet functions like a calculator,
 reading some input from the user, evaluating it, and printing out the result, all
 in an infinite loop. This is a useful mode for exploring or prototyping in Janet.
 This hello world program is about the simplest program one can write, and consists of only
 a few pieces of syntax. This first element is the `print` symbol. This is a function
 that simply prints its arguments to the console. The second argument is the
 string literal "Hello, world!", which is the one and only argument to the
 print function. Lastly, the print symbol and the string literal are wrapped
 in parentheses, forming a tuple. In Janet, parentheses and brackets are interchangeable,
 brackets are used mostly when the resulting tuple is not a function call. The tuple
 above indicates that the function `print` is to be called with one argument, `"Hello, world"`.
 Like all lisps, all operations in Janet are in prefix notation; the name of the
 operator is the first value in the tuple, and the arguments passed to it are
 in the rest of the tuple.
 # A bit more - Arithmetic
 Any programming language will have some way to do arithmetic. Janet is no exception,
 and supports the basic arithmetic operators
 ```
 # Prints 13
 # (1 + (2*2) + (10/5) + 3 + 4 + (5 - 6))
 (print (+ 1 (* 2 2) (/ 10 5) 3 4 (- 5 6)))
 ```
 Just like the print function, all arithmetic operators are entered in
 prefix notation. Janet also supports the remainder operator, or `%`, which returns
 the remainder of division. For example, `(% 10 3)` is 1, and `(% 10.5 3)` is
 1.5. The lines that begin with `#` are comments.
 Janet actually has two "flavors" of numbers; integers and real numbers. Integers are any
 integer value between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 (32 bit signed integer).
 Reals are real numbers, and are represented by IEEE-754 double precision floating point
 numbers. That means that they can represent any number an integer can represent, as well
 fractions to very high precision.
 Although real numbers can represent any value an integer can, try to distinguish between
 real numbers and integers in your program. If you are using a number to index into a structure,
 you probably want integers. Otherwise, you may want to use reals (this is only a rule of thumb).
 Arithmetic operator will convert integers to real numbers if needed, but real numbers
 will not be converted to integers, as not all real numbers can be safely converted to integers.
 ## Numeric literals
 Numeric literals can be written in many ways. Numbers can be written in base 10, with
 underscores used to separate digits into groups. A decimal point can be used for floating
 point numbers. Numbers can also be written in other bases by prefixing the number with the desired
 base and the character 'r'. For example, 16 can be written as `16`, `1_6`, `16r10`, `4r100`, or `0x10`. The
 `0x` prefix can be used for hexadecimal as it is so common. The radix must be themselves written in base 10, and
 can be any integer from 2 to 36. For any radix above 10, use the letters as digits (not case sensitive).
 Numbers can also be in scientific notation such as `3e10`. A custom radix can be used as well
 as for scientific notation numbers, (the exponent will share the radix). For numbers in scientific
 notation with a radix besides 10, use the `&` symbol to indicate the exponent rather then `e`.
 ## Arithmetic Functions
 Besides the 5 main arithmetic functions, janet also supports a number of math functions
 taken from the C library `<math.h>`, as well as bitwise operators that behave like they
 do in C or Java. Functions like `math/sin`, `math/cos`, `math/log`, and `math/exp` will
 behave as expected to a C programmer. They all take either 1 or 2 numeric arguments and
 return a real number (never an integer!) Bitwise functions are all prefixed with b.
 Thet are `bnot`, `bor`, `bxor`, `band`, `blshift`, `brshift`, and `brushift`. Bitwise
 functions only work on integers.
 # Strings, Keywords and Symbols
 Janet supports several varieties of types that can be used as labels for things in
 your program. The most useful type for this purpose is the keyword type. A keyword
 begins with a semicolon, and then contains 0 or more alphanumeric or a few other common
 characters. For example, `:hello`, `:my-name`, `::`, and `:ABC123_-*&^%$` are all keywords.
 Keywords are actually just special cases of symbols, which are similar but don't start with
 a semicolon. The difference between symbols and keywords is that keywords evaluate to themselves, while
 symbols evaluate to whatever they are bound to. To have a symbol evaluate to itself, it must be
 quoted.
 ```lisp
 # Evaluates to :monday
 :monday
 # Will throw a compile error as monday is not defined
 monday
 # Quote it - evaluates to the symbol monday
 'monday
 # Or first define monday
 (def monday "It is monday")
 # Now the evaluation should work - monday evaluates to "It is monday"
 monday
 ```
 The most common thing to do with a keyword is to check it for equality or use it as a key into
 a table or struct. Note that symbols, keywords and strings are all immutable. Besides making your
 code easier to reason about, it allows for many optimizations involving these types.
 ```lisp
 # Evaluates to true
 (= :hello :hello)
 # Evaluates to false, everything in janet is case sensitive
 (= :hello :HeLlO)
 # Look up into a table - evaluates to 25
 (get {
    :name "John"
    :age 25
    :occupation "plumber"
 } :age)
 ```
 Strings can be used similarly to keywords, but there primary usage is for defining either text
 or arbitrary sequences of bytes. Strings (and symbols) in janet are what is sometimes known as
 "8-bit clean"; they can hold any number of bytes, and are completely unaware of things like character
 encodings. This is completely compatible with ASCII and UTF-8, two of the most common character
 encodings. By being encoding agnostic, janet strings can be very simple, fast, and useful for
 for other uses besides holding text.
 Literal text can be entered inside quotes, as we have seen above.
 ```
 "Hello, this is a string."
 # We can also add escape characters for newlines, double quotes, backslash, tabs, etc.
 "Hello\nThis is on line two\n\tThis is indented\n"
 # For long strings where you don't want to type a lot of escape characters,
 # you can use 1 or more backticks (`\``) to delimit a string.
 # To close this string, simply repeat the opening sequence of backticks
 ``
 This is a string.
 Line 2
    Indented
 "We can just type quotes here", and backslashes \ no problem.
 ``
 ```
 # Functions
 Janet is a functional language - that means that one of the basic building blocks of your
 program will be defining functions (the other is using data structures). Because janet
 is a Lisp, functions are values just like numbers or strings - they can be passed around and
 created as needed.
 Functions can be defined with the `defn` macro, like so:
 ```lisp
 (defn triangle-area
 "Calculates the area of a triangle."
 [base height]
 (print "calculating area of a triangle...")
 (* base height 0.5))
 ```
 A function defined with `defn` consists of a name, a number of optional flags for def, and
 finally a function body. The example above is named triangle-area and takes two parameters named base and height. The body of the function will print a message and then evaluate to the area of the triangle.
 Once a function like the above one is defined, the programmer can use the `triangle-area`
 function just like any other, say `print` or `+`.
 ```lisp
 # Prints "calculating area of a triangle..." and then "25"
 (print (triangle-area 5 10))
 ```
 Note that when nesting function calls in other function calls like above (a call to triangle-area is
 nested inside a call to print), the inner function calls are evaluated first. Also, arguments to
 a function call are evaluated in order, from first argument to last argument).
 Because functions are first-class values like numbers or strings, they can be passed
 as arguments to other functions as well.
 ```
 (print triangle-area)
 ```
 This prints the location in memory of the function triangle area.
 Functions don't need to have names. The `fn` keyword can be used to introduce function
 literals without binding them to a symbol.
 ```
 # Evaluates to 40
 ((fn [x y] (+ x x y)) 10 20)
 # Also evaluates to 40
 ((fn [x y &] (+ x x y)) 10 20)
 # Will throw an error about the wrong arity
 ((fn [x] x) 1 2)
 # Will not throw an error about the wrong arity
 ((fn [x &] x) 1 2)
 ```
 The first expression creates an anonymous function that adds twice
 the first argument to the second, and then calls that function with arguments 10 and 20.
 This will return (10 + 10 + 20) = 40.
 There is a common macro `defn` that can be used for creating functions and immediately binding
 them to a name. `defn` works as expected at both the top level and inside another form. There is also
 the corresponding
 Note that putting an ampersand at the end of the argument list inhibits strict arity checking.
 This means that such a function will accept fewer or more arguments than specified.
 ```lisp
 (defn myfun [x y]
 (+ x x y))
 # You can think of defn as a shorthand for def and fn together
 (def myfun-same (fn [x y]
            (+ x x Y)))
 (myfun 3 4) # -> 10
 ```
 Janet has many macros provided for you (and you can write your own).
 Macros are just functions that take your source code
 and transform it into some other source code, usually automating some repetitive pattern for you.
 # Defs and Vars
 Values can be bound to symbols for later use using the keyword `def`. Using undefined
 symbols will raise an error.
 ```
 (def a 100)
 (def b (+ 1 a))
 (def c (+ b b))
 (def d (- c 100))
 ```
 Bindings created with def have lexical scoping. Also, bindings created with def are immutable; they
 cannot be changed after definition. For mutable bindings, like variables in other programming
 languages, use the `var` keyword. The assignment special form `set` can then be used to update
 a var.
 ```
 (var myvar 1)
 (print myvar)
 (set myvar 10)
 (print myvar)
 ```
 In the global scope, you can use the `:private` option on a def or var to prevent it from
 being exported to code that imports your current module. You can also add documentation to
 a function by passing a string the def or var command.
 ```lisp
 (def mydef :private "This will have priavte scope. My doc here." 123)
 (var myvar "docstring here" 321)
 ```
 ## Scopes
 Defs and vars (collectively known as bindings) live inside what is called a scope. A scope is
 simply where the bindings are valid. If a binding is referenced outside of its scope, the compiler
 will throw an error. Scopes are useful for organizing your bindings and my extension your programs.
 There are two main ways to create a scope in Janet.
 The first is to use the `do` special form. `do` executes a series of statements in a scope
 and evaluates to the last statement. Bindings create inside the form do not escape outside
 of its scope.
 ```lisp
 (def a :outera)
 (do
 (def a 1)
 (def b 2)
 (def c 3)
 (+ a b c)) # -> 6
 a # -> :outera
 b # -> compile error: "unknown symbol \"b\""
 c # -> compile error: "unknown symbol \"c\""
 ```
 Any attempt to reference the bindings from the do form after it has finished
 executing will fail. Also notice who defining `a` inside the do form did not
 overwrite the original definition of `a` for the global scope.
 The second way to create a scope is to create a closure.
 The `fn` special form also introduces a scope just like
 the `do` special form.
 There is another built in macro, `let`, that does multiple defs at once, and then introduces a scope.
 `let` is a wrapper around a combination of defs and dos, and is the most "functional" way of
 creating bindings.
 ```lisp
 (let [a 1
      b 2
      c 3]
      (+ a b c)) # -> 6
 ```
 The above is equivalent to the example using `do` and `def`.
 This is the preferable form in most cases,
 but using do with multiple defs is fine as well.
 # Data Structures
 Once you have a handle on functions and the primitive value types, you may be wondering how
 to work with collections of things. Janet has a small number of core data structure types
 that are very versatile. Tables, Structs, Arrays, Tuples, Strings, and Buffers, are the 6 main
 built in data structure types. These data structures can be arranged in a useful table describing
 there relationship to each other.
 |            | Mutable | Immutable       |
 | ---------- | ------- | --------------- |
 | Indexed    | Array   | Tuple           |
 | Dictionary | Table   | Struct          |
 | Byteseq    | Buffer  | String (Symbol) |
 Indexed types are linear lists of elements than can be accessed in constant time with an integer index.
 Indexed types are backed by a single chunk of memory for fast access, and are indexed from 0 as in C.
 Dictionary types associate keys with values. The difference between dictionaries and indexed types
 is that dictionaries are not limited to integer keys. They are backed by a hashtable and also offer
 constant time lookup (and insertion for the mutable case).
 Finally, the 'byteseq' abstraction is any type that contains a sequence of bytes. A byteseq associates
 integer keys (the indices) with integer values between 0 and 255 (the byte values). In this way,
 they behave much like Arrays and Tuples. However, one cannot put non integer values into a byteseq.
 ```lisp
 (def mytuple (tuple 1 2 3))
 (def myarray @(1 2 3))
 (def myarray (array 1 2 3))
 (def mystruct {
 :key "value"
 :key2 "another"
 1 2
 4 3})
 (def another-struct
 (struct :a 1 :b 2))
 (def my-table @{
 :a :b
 :c :d
 :A :qwerty})
 (def another-table
 (table 1 2 3 4))
 (def my-buffer @"thisismutable")
 (def my-buffer2 @```
 This is also mutable ":)"
 ```)
 ```
 To read the values in a data structure, use the get function. The first parameter is the data structure
 itself, and the second parameter is the key.
 ```lisp
 (get @{:a 1} :a) # -> 1
 (get {:a 1} :a) # -> 1
 (get @[:a :b :c] 2) # -> :c
 (get (tuple "a" "b" "c") 1) # -> "b"
 (get @"hello, world" 1) # -> 101
 (get "hello, world" 0) # -> 104
 ```
 ### Destructuring
 In many cases, however, you do not need the `get` function at all. Janet supports destructuring, which
 means both the `def` and `var` special forms can extract values from inside structures themselves.
 ```lisp
 # Before, we might do
 (def my-array @[:mary :had :a :little :lamb])
 (def lamb (get my-array 4))
 (print lamb) # Prints :lamb
 # Now, with destructuring,
 (def [_ _ _ _ lamb] my-array)
 (print lamb) # Again, prints :lamb
 # Destructuring works with tables as well
 (def person @{:name "Bob Dylan" :age 77}
 (def
  {:name person-name
   :age person-age} person)
 ```
 To update a mutable data structure, use the `put` function. It takes 3 arguments, the data structure,
 the key, and the value, and returns the data structure. The allowed types keys and values
 depend on what data structure is passed in.
 ```lisp
 (put @[] 100 :a)
 (put @{} :key "value")
 (put @"" 100 92)
 ```
 Note that for Arrays and Buffers, putting an index that is outside the length of the data structure
 will extend the data structure and fill it with nils in the case of the Array,
 or 0s in the case of the Buffer.
 The last generic function for all data structures is the `length` function. This returns the number of
 values in a data structure (the number of keys in a dictionary type).
 # Flow Control
 Janet has only two built in primitives to change flow while inside a function. The first is the
 `if` special form, which behaves as expected in most functional languages. It takes two or three parameters:
 a condition, an expression to evaluate to if the condition is true (not nil or false),
 and an optional condition to evaluate to when the condition is nil or false. If the optional parameter
 is omitted, the if form evaluates to nil.
 ```lisp
 (if (> 4 3)
  "4 is greater than 3"
  "4 is not greater then three") # Evaluates to the first statement
 (if true
  (print "Hey")) # Will print
 (if false
  (print "Oy!")) # Will not print
 ```
 The second primitive control flow construct is the while loop. The while behaves much the same
 as in many other programming languages, including C, Java, and Python. The while loop takes
 two or more parameters: the first is a condition (like in the `if` statement), that is checked before
 every iteration of the loop. If it is nil or false, the while loop ends and evaluates to nil. Otherwise,
 the rest of the parameters will be evaluated sequentially and then the program will return to the beginning
 of the loop.
 ```
 # Loop from 100 down to 1 and print each time
 (var i 100)
 (while (pos? i)
  (print "the number is " i)
  (-- i))
 # Print ... until a random number in range [0, 1) is >= 0.9
 # (math/random evaluates to a value between 0 and 1)
 (while (> 0.9 (math/random))
  (print "..."))
 ```
 Besides these special forms, Janet has many macros for both conditional testing and looping
 that are much better for the majority of cases. For conditional testing, the `cond`, `switch`, and
 `when` macros can be used to great effect. `cond` can be used for making an if-else chain, where using
 just raw if forms would result in many parentheses. `case` For looping, the `loop`, `seq`, and `generate`
 implement janet's form of list comprehension, as in Python or Clojure.
 # The Core Library
 Janet has a built in core library of over 300 functions and macros at the time of writing.
 While some of these functions may be refactored into separate modules, it is useful to get to know
 the core to avoid rewriting provided functions.
 For any given function, use the `doc` macro to view the documentation for it in the repl.
 ```lisp
 (doc defn) -> Prints the documentation for "defn"
 ```
 To see a list of all global functions in the repl, type the command
 ```lisp
 (table/getproto *env*)
 # Or
 (all-symbols)
 ```
 Which will print out every built-in global binding
 (it will not show your global bindings). To print all
 of your global bindings, just use \*env\*, which is a var
 that is bound to the current environment.
 The convention of surrounding a symbol in stars is taken from lisp
 and Clojure, and indicates a global dynamic variable rather than a normal
 definition. To get the static environment at the time of compilation, use the
 `_env` symbol.
 # Prototypes
 To support basic generic programming, Janet tables support a prototype
 table. A prototype table contains default values for a table if certain keys
 are not found in the original table. This allows many similar tables to share
 contents without duplicating memory.
 ```lisp
 # One of many Object Oriented schemes that can
 # be implented in janet.
 (def proto1 @{:type :custom1
              :behave (fn [self x] (print "behaving " x))})
 (def proto2 @{:type :custom2
              :behave (fn [self x] (print "behaving 2 " x))})
 (def thing1 (table/setproto @{} proto1))
 (def thing2 (table/setproto @{} proto2))
 (print thing1:type) # prints :custom1
 (print thing2:type) # prints :custom2
 (thing1:behave thing1 :a) # prints "behaving :a"
 (thing2:behave thing2 :b) # prints "behaving 2 :b"
 ```
 Looking up in a table with a prototype can be summed up with the following algorithm.
 1. `(get my-table my-key)` is called.
 2. my-table is checked for the key if my-key. If there is a value for the key, it is returned.
 3. if there is a prototype table for my-table, set `my-table = my-table's prototype` and got to 2.
 4. Return nil as the key was not found.
 Janet will check up to about a 1000 prototypes recursively by default before giving up and returning nil. This
 is to prevent an infinite loop. This value can be changed by adjusting the `JANET_RECURSION_GUARD` value
 in janet.h.
 Note that Janet prototypes are not as expressive as metatables in Lua and many other languages.
 This is by design, as adding Lua or Python like capabilities would not be technically difficult.
 Users should prefer plain data and functions that operate on them rather than mutable objects
 with methods.
 # Fibers
 Janet has support for single-core asynchronous programming via coroutines, or fibers.
 Fibers allow a process to stop and resume execution later, essentially enabling
 multiple returns from a function. This allows many patterns such a schedules, generators,
 iterators, live debugging, and robust error handling. Janet's error handling is actually built on
 top of fibers (when an error is thrown, the parent fiber will handle the error).
 A temporary return from a fiber is called a yield, and can be invoked with the `yield` function.
 To resume a fiber that has been yielded, use the `resume` function. When resume is called on a fiber,
 it will only return when that fiber either returns, yields, throws an error, or otherwise emits
 a signal.
 Different from traditional coroutines, Janet's fibers implement a signaling mechanism, which
 is used to differentiate different kinds of returns. When a fiber yields or throws an error,
 control is returned to the calling fiber. The parent fiber must then check what kind of state the
 fiber is in to differentiate errors from return values from user defined signals.
 To create a fiber, user the `fiber/new` function. The fiber constructor take one or two arguments.
 the first, necessary argument is the function that the fiber will execute. This function must accept
 an arity of zero. The next optional argument is a collection of flags checking what kinds of
 signals to trap and return via `resume`. This is useful so
 the programmer does not need to handle all different kinds of signals from a fiber. Any un-trapped signals
 are simply propagated to the next fiber.
 ```lisp
 (def f (fiber/new (fn []
                   (yield 1)
                   (yield 2)
                   (yield 3)
                   (yield 4)
                   5)))
 # Get the status of the fiber (:alive, :dead, :debug, :new, :pending, or :user0-:user9)
 (print (fiber/status f)) # -> :new
 (print (resume f)) # -> prints 1
 (print (resume f)) # -> prints 2
 (print (resume f)) # -> prints 3
 (print (resume f)) # -> prints 4
 (print (fiber/status f)) # -> print :pending
 (print (resume f)) # -> prints 5
 (print (fiber/status f)) # -> print :dead
 (print (resume f)) # -> throws an error because the fiber is dead
 ```
 ## Using Fibers to Capture Errors
 Besides being used as coroutines, fibers can be used to implement error handling (exceptions).
 ```lisp
 (defn my-function-that-errors [x]
 (print "start function with " x)
 (error "oops!")
 (print "never gets here"))
 # Use the :e flag to only trap errors.
 (def f (fiber/new my-function-that-errors :e))
 (def result (resume f))
 (if (= (fiber/status f) :error)
 (print "result contains the error")
 (print "result contains the good result"))
 ```
 # Macros
 Janet supports macros like most lisps. A macro is like a function, but transforms
 the code itself rather than data. They let you extend the syntax of the language itself.
 You have seen some macros already. The `let`, `loop`, and `defn` forms are macros. When the compiler
 sees a macro, it evaluates the macro and then compiles the result. We say the macro has been
 *expanded* after the compiler evaluates it. A simple version of the `defn` macro can
 be thought of as transforming code of the form
 ```lisp
 (defn1 myfun [x] body)
 ```
 into
 ```lisp
 (def myfun (fn myfun [x] body))
 ```
 We could write such a macro like so:
 ```lisp
 (defmacro defn1 [name args body]
 (tuple 'def name (tuple 'fn name args body)))
 ```
 There are a couple of issues with this macro, but it will work for simple functions
 quite well.
 The first issue is that our defn2 macro can't define functions with multiple expressions
 in the body. We can make the macro variadic, just like a function. Here is a second version
 of this macro.
 ```lisp
 (defmacro defn2 [name args & body]
 (tuple 'def name (apply tuple 'fn name args body)))
 ```
 Great! Now we can define functions with multiple elements in the body. We can still improve this
 macro even more though. First, we can add a docstring to it. If someone is using the function later,
 they can use `(doc defn3)` to get a description of the function. Next, we can rewrite the macro
 using janet's builtin quasiquoting facilities.
 ```lisp
 (defmacro defn3
 "Defines a new function."
 [name args & body]
 `(def ,name (fn ,name ,args ,;body)))
 ```
 This is functionally identical to our previous version `defn2`, but written in such
 a way that the macro output is more clear. The leading backtick is shorthand for the
 `(quasiquote x)` special form, which is like `(quote x)` except we can unquote
 expressions inside it. The comma in front of `name` and `args` is an unquote, which
 allows us to put a value in the quasiquote. Without the unquote, the symbol \'name\'
 would be put in the returned tuple. Without the unquote, every function we defined
 would be called \'name\'!.
 Similar to name, we must also unquote body. However, a normal unquote doesn't work.
 See what happens if we use a normal unquote for body as well.
 ```lisp
 (def name 'myfunction)
 (def args '[x y z])
 (defn body '[(print x) (print y) (print z)])
 `(def ,name (fn ,name ,args ,body))
 # -> (def myfunction (fn myfunction (x y z) ((print x) (print y) (print z))))
 ```
 There is an extra set of parentheses around the body of our function! We don't
 want to put the body *inside* the form `(fn args ...)`, we want to *splice* it
 into the form. Luckily, janet has the `(splice x)` special form for this purpose,
 and a shorthand for it, the ; character.
 When combined with the unquote special, we get the desired output.
 ```lisp
 `(def ,name (fn ,name ,args ,;body))
 # -> (def myfunction (fn myfunction (x y z) (print x) (print y) (print z)))
 ```
 ## Hygiene
 Sometime when we write macros, we must generate symbols for local bindings. Ignoring that
 it could be written as a function, consider
 the following macro
 ```lisp
 (defmacro max1
 "Get the max of two values."
 [x y]
 `(if (> ,x ,y) ,x ,y))
 ```
 This almost works, but will evaluate both x and y twice. This is because both show up
 in the macro twice. For example, `(max1 (do (print 1) 1) (do (print 2) 2))` will
 print both 1 and 2 twice, which is surprising to a user of this macro.
 We can do better:
 ```lisp
 (defmacro max2
 "Get the max of two values."
 [x y]
 `(let [x ,x
        y ,y]
    (if (> x y) x y)))
 ```
 Now we have no double evaluation problem! But we now have an even more subtle problem.
 What happens in the following code?
 ```lisp
 (def x 10)
 (max2 8 (+ x 4))
 ```
 We want the max to be 14, but this will actually evaluate to 12! This can be understood
 if we expand the macro. You can expand macro once in janet using the `(macex1 x)` function.
 (To expand macros until there are no macros left to expand, use `(macex x)`. Be careful,
 janet has many macros, so the full expansion may be almost unreadable).
 ```lisp
 (macex1 '(max2 8 (+ x 4)))
 # -> (let (x 8 y (+ x 4)) (if (> x y) x y))
 ```
 After expansion, y wrongly refers to the x inside the macro (which is bound to 8) rather than the x defined
 to be 10. The problem is the reuse of the symbol x inside the macro, which overshadowed the original
 binding.
 Janet provides a general solution to this problem in terms of the `(gensym)` function, which returns
 a symbol which is guarenteed to be unique and not collide with any symbols defined previously. We can define
 our macro once more for a fully correct macro.
 ```lisp
 (defmacro max3
 "Get the max of two values."
 [x y]
 (def $x (gensym))
 (def $y (gensym))
 `(let [,$x ,x
        ,$y ,y]
    (if (> ,$x ,$y) ,$x ,$y)))
 ```
 As you can see, macros are very powerful but also are prone to subtle bugs. You must remember that
 at their core, macros are just functions that output code, and the code that they return must
 work in many contexts!

 # The Parser
 A Janet program begins life as a text file, just a sequence of byte like
 any other on your system. Janet source files should be UTF-8 or ASCII
 encoded. Before Janet can compile or run your program, it must transform
 your source code into a data structure. Janet is a lisp, which means it is
 homoiconic - code is data, so all of the facilities in the language for
 manipulating arrays, tuples, strings, and tables can be used for manipulating
 your source code as well.
 But before janet code is represented as a data structure, it must be read, or parsed,
 by the janet parser. Called the reader in many other lisps, the parser is a machine
 that takes in plain text and outputs data structures which can be used by both
 the compiler and macros. In janet, it is a parser rather than a reader because
 there is no code execution at read time. This is safer and simpler, and also
 lets janet syntax serve as a robust data interchange format. While a parser
 is not extensible, in janet the philosophy is to extend the language via macros
 rather than reader macros.
 ## Nil, True and False
 Nil, true and false are all literals than can be entered as such
 in the parser.
 ```
 nil
 true
 false
 ```
 ## Symbols
 Janet symbols are represented a sequence of alphanumeric characters
 not starting with a digit. They can also contain the characters
 \!, @, $, \%, \^, \&, \*, -, \_, +, =, \|, \~, :, \<, \>, ., \?, \\, /, as
 well as any Unicode codepoint not in the ascii range.
 By convention, most symbols should be all lower case and use dashes to connect words
 (sometimes called kebab case).
 Symbols that come from another module often contain a forward slash that separates
 the name of the module from the name of the definition in the module
 ```
 symbol
 kebab-case-symbol
 snake_case_symbol
 my-module/my-fuction
 *****
 !%$^*__--__._+++===~-crazy-symbol
 *global-var*
 你好
 ```
 ## Keywords
 Janet keywords are really just symbols that begin with the character :. However, they
 are used differently and treated by the compiler as a constant rather than a name for
 something. Keywords are used mostly for keys in tables and structs, or pieces of syntax
 in macros.
 ```
 :keyword
 :range
 :0x0x0x0
 :a-keyword
 ::
 :
 ```
 ## Numbers
 Janet numbers are represented by either 32 bit integers or
 IEEE-754 floating point numbers. The syntax is similar to that of many other languages
 as well. Numbers can be written in base 10, with
 underscores used to separate digits into groups. A decimal point can be used for floating
 point numbers. Numbers can also be written in other bases by prefixing the number with the desired
 base and the character 'r'. For example, 16 can be written as `16`, `1_6`, `16r10`, `4r100`, or `0x10`. The
 `0x` prefix can be used for hexadecimal as it is so common. The radix must be themselves written in base 10, and
 can be any integer from 2 to 36. For any radix above 10, use the letters as digits (not case sensitive).
 ```

 4.98
 1.3e18
 1.3E18
 18r123C
 11raaa&a
 1_000_000
 0xbeef
 ```
 ## Strings
 Strings in janet are surrounded by double quotes. Strings are 8bit clean, meaning
 meaning they can contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes, including embedded
 0s. To insert a double quote into a string itself, escape
 the double quote with a backslash. For unprintable characters, you can either use
 one of a few common escapes, use the `\xHH` escape to escape a single byte in
 hexidecimal. The supported escapes are:
    - \\xHH Escape a single arbitrary byte in hexidecimal.
    - \\n Newline (ASCII 10)
    - \\t Tab character (ASCII 9)
    - \\r Carriage Return (ASCII 13)
    - \\0 Null (ASCII 0)
    - \\z Null (ASCII 0)
    - \\f Form Feed (ASCII 12)
    - \\e Escape (ASCII 27)
    - \\" Double Quote (ASCII 34)
    - \\\\ Backslash (ASCII 92)
 Strings can also contain literal newline characters that will be ignore.
 This lets one define a multiline string that does not contain newline characters.
 An alternative way of representing strings in janet is the long string, or the backquote
 delimited string. A string can also be define to start with a certain number of
 backquotes, and will end the same number of backquotes. Long strings
 do not contain escape sequences; all bytes will be parsed literally until
 ending delimiter is found. This is useful
 for definining multiline strings with literal newline characters, unprintable
 characters, or strings that would otherwise require many escape sequences.
 ```
 "This is a string."
 "This\nis\na\nstring."
 "This
 is
 a
 string."
 ``
 This
 is
 a
 string
 ``
 ```
 ## Buffers
 Buffers are similar strings except they are mutable data structures. Strings in janet
 cannot be mutated after created, where a buffer can be changed after creation.
 The syntax for a buffer is the same as that for a string or long string, but
 the buffer must be prefixed with the '@' character.
 ```
@""
@"Buffer."
@``Another buffer``
 ```
 ## Tuples
 Tuples are a sequence of white space separated values surrounded by either parentheses
 or brackets. The parser considers any of the characters ASCII 32, \\0, \\f, \\n, \\r or \\t
 to be whitespace.
 ```
 (do 1 2 3)
 [do 1 2 3]
 ```
 ## Arrays
 Arrays are the same as tuples, but have a leading @ to indicate mutability.
 ```
@(:one :two :three)
@[:one :two :three]
 ```
 ## Structs
 Structs are represented by a sequence of whitespace delimited key value pairs
 surrounded by curly braces. The sequence is defined as key1, value1, key2, value2, etc.
 There must be an even number of items between curly braces or the parser will
 signal a parse error. Any value can be a key or value. Using nil as a key or
 value, however, will drop that pair from the parsed struct.
 ```
 {}
 {:key1 "value1" :key2 :value2 :key3 3}
 {(1 2 3) (4 5 6)}
 {@[] @[]}
 {1 2 3 4 5 6}
 ```
 ## Tables
 Table have the same syntax as structs, except they have the @ prefix to indicate
 that they are mutable.
 ```
@{}
@{:key1 "value1" :key2 :value2 :key3 3}
@{(1 2 3) (4 5 6)}
@{@[] @[]}
@{1 2 3 4 5 6}
 ```
 ## Comments
 Comments begin with a \# character and continue until the end of the line.
 There are no multiline comments. For ricm multiline comments, use a
 string literal.
 ## Shorthands
 Often called reader macros in other lisps, Janet provides several shorthand
 notations for some forms.
 ### 'x
 Shorthand for `(quote x)`
 ### ;x
 Shorthand for `(splice x)`
 ### ~x
 Shorthand for `(quasiquote x)`
 ### ,x
 Shorthand for `(unquote x)`
 These shorthand notations can be combined in any order, allowing
 forms like `''x` (`(quote (quote x))`), or `,;x` (`(unquote (splice x))`).
 ## API
 The parser contains the following functions which exposes
 the parser state machine as a janet abstract object.
 - `parser/byte`
 - `parser/consume`
 - `parser/error`
 - `parser/flush`
 - `parser/new`
 - `parser/produce`
 - `parser/state`
 - `parser/status`
 - `parser/where`

 # SQLite bindings
 There are some sqlite3 bindings in the directory natives/sqlite3 bundled with
 the janet source code. They serve mostly as a
 proof of concept external c library. To use, first compile the module with Make.
 ```sh
 make natives
 ```
 Next, enter the repl and create a database and a table.
 ```
 janet:1:> (import natives/sqlite3 :as sql)
 nil
 janet:2:> (def db (sql/open "test.db"))
 <sqlite3.connection 0x5561A138C470>
 janet:3:> (sql/eval db `CREATE TABLE customers(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT);`)
@[]
 janet:4:> (sql/eval db `INSERT INTO customers VALUES(:id, :name);` {:name "John" :id 12345})
@[]
 janet:5:> (sql/eval db `SELECT * FROM customers;`)
@[{"id" 12345 "name" "John"}]
 ```
 Finally, close the database connection when done with it.
 ```
 janet:6:> (sql/close db)
 nil

 The Janet language is implemented on top of an abstract machine (AM). The compiler
 converts Janet data structures to this bytecode, which can then be efficiently executed
 from inside a C program. To understand the janet bytecode, it is useful to understand
 the abstractions used inside the Janet AM, as well as the C types used to implement these
 features.
 ## The Stack = The Fiber
 A Janet Fiber is the type used to represent multiple concurrent processes
 in janet. It is basically a wrapper around the idea of a stack. The stack is
 divided into a number of stack frames (`JanetStackFrame *` in C), each of which
 contains information such as the function that created the stack frame, 
 the program counter for the stack frame, a pointer to the previous frame,
 and the size of the frame. Each stack frame also is paired with a number
 registers.
 ```
 X: Slot
 X
 X - Stack Top, for next function call.

 Bottom of stack
 ```
 Fibers also have an incomplete stack frame for the next function call on top
 of their stacks. Making a function call involves pushing arguments to this
 temporary stack, and then invoking either the CALL or TCALL instructions.
 Arguments for the next function call are pushed via the PUSH, PUSH2, PUSH3, and
 PUSHA instructions. The stack of a fiber will grow as large as needed, although by
 default janet will limit the maximum size of a fiber's stack.
 The maximum stack size can be modified on a per fiber basis.
 The slots in the stack are exposed as virtual registers to instructions. They
 can hold any Janet value.
 ## Closures
 All functions in janet are closures; they combine some bytecode instructions
 with 0 or more environments. In the C source, a closure (hereby the same as
 a function) is represented by the type `JanetFunction *`. The bytecode instruction
 part of the function is represented by `JanetFuncDef *`, and a function environment
 is represented with `JanetFuncEnv *`.
 The function definition part of a function (the 'bytecode' part, `JanetFuncDef *`),
 we also store various metadata about the function which is useful for debugging,
 as well as constants referenced by the function.
 ## C Functions
 Janet uses C functions to bridge to native code. A C function
 (`JanetCFunction *` in C) is a C function pointer that can be called like
 a normal janet closure. From the perspective of the bytecode instruction set, there is no difference
 in invoking a C function and invoking a normal janet function.
 ## Bytecode Format
 Janet bytecode presents an interface to a virtual machine with a large number
 of identical registers that can hold any Janet value (`Janet *` in C). Most instructions
 have a destination register, and 1 or 2 source register. Registers are simply
 named with positive integers.
 Each instruction is a 32 bit integer, meaning that the instruction set is a constant
 width RISC instruction set like MIPS. The opcode of each instruction is the least significant
 byte of the instruction. The highest bit of
 this leading byte is reserved for debugging purpose, so there are 128 possible opcodes encodable
 with this scheme. Not all of these possible opcode are defined, and will trap the interpreter
 and emit a debug signal. Note that this mean an unknown opcode is still valid bytecode, it will
 just put the interpreter into a debug state when executed.
 ```
 X - Payload bits
 O - Opcode bits
   4    3    2    1
 +----+----+----+----+
 | XX | XX | XX | OO |
 +----+----+----+----+
 ```
 8 bits for the opcode leaves 24 bits for the payload, which may or may not be utilized.
 There are a few instruction variants that divide these payload bits.
 * 0 arg - Used for noops, returning nil, or other instructions that take no
  arguments. The payload is essentially ignored.
 * 1 arg - All payload bits correspond to a single value, usually a signed or unsigned integer.
  Used for instructions of 1 argument, like returning a value, yielding a value to the parent fiber,
  or doing a (relative) jump.
 * 2 arg - Payload is split into byte 2 and bytes 3 and 4.
  The first argument is the 8 bit value from byte 2, and the second argument is the 16 bit value
  from bytes 3 and 4 (`instruction >> 16`). Used for instructions of two arguments, like move, normal
  function calls, conditionals, etc.
 * 3 arg - Bytes 2, 3, and 4 each correspond to an 8 bit argument.
  Used for arithmetic operations, emitting a signal, etc.
 These instruction variants can be further refined based on the semantics of the arguments.
 Some instructions may treat an argument as a slot index, while other instructions
 will treat the argument as a signed integer literal, and index for a constant, an index
 for an environment, or an unsigned integer.
 ## Instruction Reference
 A listing of all opcode values can be found in src/include/janet/janetopcodes.h. The janet assembly
 short names can be found src/assembler/asm.c. In this document, we will refer to the instructions
 by their short names as presented to the assembler rather than their numerical values.
 Each instruction is also listed with a signature, which are the arguments the instruction
 expects. There are a handful of instruction signatures, which combine the arity and type
 of the instruction. The assembler does not
 do any typechecking per closure, but does prevent jumping to invalid instructions and
 failure to return or error.
 ### Notation
 * The $ prefix indicates that a instruction parameter is acting as a virtual register (slot).
  If a parameter does not have the $ suffix in the description, it is acting as some kind
  of literal (usually an unsigned integer for indexes, and a signed integer for literal integers).
 * Some operators in the description have the suffix 'i' or 'r'. These indicate
  that these operators correspond to integers or real numbers only, respectively. All
  bitwise operators and bit shifts only work with integers. 
 * The `>>>` indicates unsigned right shift, as in Java. Because all integers in janet are
  signed, we differentiate the two kinds of right bit shift.
 * The 'im' suffix in the instruction name is short for immediate. The 'i' suffix is short for integer,
  and the 'r' suffix is short for real.
