   Oh my god

   The 110-line LISP interpreter I wrote… worked… on the first try. I'm not sure it's clear from this screenshot but that's why you're seeing

   The only problems were
   1. Errors in memory.rs, the separate gc/memory handle file
   2. Errors in globals.rs, ie, the implementations of "set" and "print"
   3. The evaluator crashes *in the process of quitting*. Because it only does this *after* successfully running the program, it is a philosophical question whether the interpreter "works".
