<cow_2001>the rabbit hole is endlessly forking ~_~ <cow_2001>you know how when doing something like (a-function a b), and if `a` and `b` are complex expressions, not atoms, there is no guarantee that the expression `a` would run before the expression `b`? <cow_2001>(i am not a programming language programmer) <old>I want to add that feature to guile-parallel. I'm just not sure how to approach it. Should it be a syntax so you can do: `(pcall procedure complex-arguments ...)` <old>How should it be a phase in the compiler tower, maybe in Tree-IL? <old>The idea would then so simply substitute `(foo x y)` with `(let ((fx (future x)) (fy (future y))) (foo (touch fx) (touch fy)))` or something like that
