Both that version of the language and the one I am writing the manual for now are powered by textual reduction. In that version, the language was parsed and then special UUIDs made from Elder Futhark were inserted as markers for how to reduce the text so the VM could run the code. If, for some reason, you wanted to make a document in Elder Futhark, you could also configure it to be other languages, like Phonecian or Egyptian. The current version no longer does this, because I replaced that whole system with parser combinators.

Crash Bandicoot was written in LISP. LISP can make anything, and you can make your own LISP tailored to the problem you are trying to solve. This actually lead to something called "LISP curse", where no major LISP implementations really caught on, because frequently making your own specialized LISP is easier and more effective than learning someone else's LISP and trying to apply it to your problem.

It seems like it should be a switch? I am in agreement with you that the code is not egregiously bad.

I fixed the bug, so, yes? I can keep making the manual now!
