Bug with REPL displaying result of calling function that returns Char

Thanks for reporting! The message is correct (we need an interface implementation of str for chars) but the hang is obviously a bug.

feat: add maybe and result thread macros

So if the composed functions produce a Nothing/Error in the middle of the chain, it is _not_ aborted? (I didn't read the code very properly the first time, it seems)

feat: add maybe and result thread macros

OK; thanks for the clarification. I have a feeling people will expect these to be monadic.

feat: add maybe and result thread macros

I see. I think the threading macros should do the same thing on each "step".

Lambda fields should not be hardcoded in Emit.hs

Yes, let's try that.

Make Core more modular

Yeah, I agree it's often hard to import things selectively in a good way. Moving `str` to each individual module could potentially help a lot, but maybe it leads to...

Safer Core Library C type names

I think this suggestion makes sense. Supporting C++ would definitely be nice, since it's such a common language for useful libraries. Prefixing sounds good.

"receiver" templates

Yeah, that would be nice. Do you have any idea for what syntax to use for this?

Overlapping patterns in Parsing.hs

Yeah, let's make this change 👍

performance: test/macros.carp takes a long time to execute

Interesting findings! We definitely need to get to the bottom of this to enable a nice developer experience.
