Hello all,
The other day, it occurred to me that when you assign to a variable
or a slot in a vector, it's possible to avoid a mutation tracking
check, if at compile time the value is known to be immediate.
Instead, we can emit code to write the value directly to the data
pointer + index. This wi
Hi Peter,

It seems silly to ask the length of a vector th

Not at all. If your program needs a vector of constants, thus:
(define pi-digits #(3 1 4 1 5 9)
then you might want to future-proof the rest of your program against
extending this constant by writing (v
