For weeks now, I've been trying to use my assembler in a playground type way, where I can give it a filename interactively, and it assembles it, returning to its "waiting" state, and I had issues where erroring would always happen at different depth in the code, so the stack was always messy after encountering an error in live mode.

I made an arity checker(it's a thing that makes sure that a program's function doesn't leave the stack in an unexpected state), and would run it over my assembler source and it threw an error at my error handling code. Each time I thought, it's probably being confused.

But NO, it was telling me this whole time what I should change . I gave it a second look today and fixing that little thing was all I needed this whole time to get it to work properly. Thank you arity checker sensei.

@neauoire interactive development loops like this are so engaging and pleasant to work with!~ (it's one of the main reasons i really love haskell and common lisp)

@opfez yeah! They're pretty fun to create too, it's my first time doing it and it's more "meta" than I had expected, you have to be able to observe everything and recover cleanly which is the most tricky part.
