parsing

low is one lowercase letter, and plus one or more of a rule. tis is =, and mic is ;. malt makes a map from a list of pairs.

parse input into a map.

=> |% ++ input 'a=1;b=2' --
glossary

=> sets the subject to its head, then evaluates its tail against it.

=>([a=1 b=2] b) is 2.

|% makes a core: a battery of named arms, each written ++ name.

reach an arm back out with =< or arm:core.

=<  a
|%
++  a  5
--

is 5.

%= resolves a wing with some faces changed.

=/(a [x=1 y=2] a(x 9)) is [x=9 y=2].

irregular forms:

a(x 9) is %=(a x 9)

$(a b) restarts a loop with a changed to b
