Hmm the (click to run) example crashed after only two cycles. I presume the ‘LOOP’ is a comment, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it hit stack overflow eventually, but the error is

Interpreter crashed: TypeError: this.lhs.freeVars(...).union is not a function

So esoteric functional crashes, too!

Interesting, I hadn’t encountered this. What browser are you using? It seems that Set.union is rather new in JavaScript. I replaced it by going through an Array, does it work now if you refresh?

Thanks, yes now loops plenty of times. (Is it supposed to do more than loop?)
