Spend a month implementing a super complicated replace-in-place scheme for livecoding in uxn. Finicky af, 300 lines, slow.

Removes it all. Spend 5 minutes implementing soft-reboot, where zero-page is kept during reboot. Robust, predictable, 5 lines.

@neauoire the nice thing about that is that it also helps clarify what needs to be in the zero page versus not

@d6 yes! it's such a good fit for this! It draws a clear line where you can protect a bit of state between reboots. It's F5 in uxn(sdl) and uxn11

@neauoire ooooh, that’s sneaky cool. I’d read a blog entry on the mental gymnastics through that process.

@wvs I might write about it, I have to document it anyhow :)
