Yes. Recursion is as recursion does.
But it occurs to me that there shouldn't be a problem intil the function is evaluated and by then you just have a value, right?
If not, then you pass it an instance of IExpression or something.

The expressions are parsed when they're loaded, so any function must exist before it can be referenced. The only recursion allowed is for a function to call itself, but looped recursion [A -> B -> A] won't be allowed.
The syntax has actually not failed me yet and it is [for an interpreted script] quite efficient. Once created, an expression can be called multiple times with different data and it all works very nicely. It's just this load order that is getting on my unmentionables.

Excellent plan. You can't imagine how many brilliant subroutines and functions I've written on cocktail napkins. Sometimes you just need to lubricate the neurons a bit.

You just need the conceptual idea of a compiler-compiler.
You create build process that creates a minimal set of initial functions. The implementation of that is a tool which does its job without relying on the elegance of the dynamic interface.

Without guns?
In Brazil people can't have guns, and the govern is "awesome", because we can't fight.

That's it..
I have decided to open a chain of Bars and Night Clubs simply called "Moderation".
It could be a franchise opportunity for some CP members as well.
Down here it is mandatory for all alcohol advertising to bare the slogan; "Drink in Moderation".
So we will not ever have to advertise as all our competitors will be doing this for us.
