I'm interested in where this goes, if it goes anywhere. Seems like a cool concept, but only if the functions interact, and build upon one and other, not just print "Hi this is quaz3l! I defined a variable!".


Taken to its logical conclusion, it will produce Emacs.


It will just expand until it can read mail.


I hope no one adds the 'M-x skynet' mode, or we're all screwed.


But we need of course C-x M-c M-butterfly [1].

Emacs has included M-x butterfly since version 23.1 [1]

I'm sure we'll be fine: http://xkcd.com/1046/


Unless someone manages to figure out what the save the world button is.


And evolve into a web framework, which will eventually be ported as a Node module.


I originally wanted to write an `incr(x)` function which increments a variable. However, it seemed to me that we needed to "print" something, so I think I added to the confusion by making a graffiti of sorts.
