string -> language

How to create forth code from a string?

i forgot how the logic works..

pic18/lang/reader.ss:
(module reader scat/forth/module-reader
  scat/pic18/purrr18-module-language)

the generic forth reader uses #%plain-module-begin from the specified
module. to declare and instantiate a module body

(module test "pic18/purrr18-module-language.ss" : abc 1 2 3)
(require 'test)
(print-all-code)
abc:
	[dup]
	[movlw 1]
	[dup]
	[movlw 2]
	[dup]
	[movlw 3]


now, from a string: open the reader module with a prefix:
(require (prefix-in 'forth- "pic18/lang/reader.ss"))


The answer seems to be: forth code lives in a namespace, so in order
to load a file, create a new namespace.

EDIT: got it to work by using:

    (parameterize
        ((current-namespace ns))
      (eval form)
      (eval `(require
              scat/macro/code
              ',name)))

now i can instantiate multiple namepspaces, each with their own
language. one problem though: the word structures are not accessible,
because the instances are different.

anyways, this gives a nice border to create the "badnop interface".

now, this takes noticable time with all modules compiled.

     (ns-print-code (purrr18->namespace ": abc 1 2 3"))

which means something is running during instantiation of the
modules.. maybe it's the tests? maybe it's possible to keep a
namespace around with an instantiated compiler, and re-evaluate forth
code? TODO: split instantiation of compiler, and compilation, to make
way for incremental compilation.

looks like this is the next step: make this easy to use.
