This is a proof of concept that's not meant to be merged. It implements a fixed-piont combinator, more commonly known as the Y combinator. Using this, we can do recursion in KCL.
I implemented a recursive
isEven()function as a test case to prove that it works.The few things missing that I also implemented were:
||!I bumped into a few rough edges of the parser while implementing the Y combinator, but they're already separate issues.
