  ## Structure
  
  ### libkc3
  
  KC3 is implemented using libkc3 a small C99 library implementing the core
  of the language.
  
  The library includes a parser and an interpreter for KC3 code in C
  structures.
  
  Support for large integers provided by
  [libtommath](https://github.com/libtom/libtommath).
  
  Support for C function calls provided by
  [libffi](https://github.com/libffi/libffi).
  
  Modules are saved as facts databases.
  
  
  #### Parser
  
  The parser is recursive descent.
  
  #### AST
  
  The AST is represented as KC3 data structures and can be meta-programmed
  in C.
  
  #### Interpreter
  
  Please see the following functions in `libkc3/env.c`:
   - `env_eval_tag` : evaluates a tag (any KC3 type)
   - `env_eval_block` : evaluates a block (`do ... end`)
   - `env_eval_call` : evaluates a function call (`Cfn`, `Fn`)
   - `env_eval_call_fn_args` : evaluates a KC3 function call (Fn)
  
  
  ### ikc3
  
  Interactive shell. Terminal I/O provided by
  [linenoise](https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/tree/1.0).
  
  Example :
  ```
  $ make test
  $ ikc3/ikc3
  ikc3> ikc3> 1 + 1
  2
  ikc3> 2 + 2
  4
  ikc3> 3 + 3
  6
  ikc3> 1 +
  ikc3> 1
  2
  ikc3> double = fn (x) { x * 2 }
  fn (x) { x * 2 }
  ikc3> double
  fn (x) { x * 2 }
  ikc3> double(1)
  2
  ikc3> double(2)
  4
  ikc3> double(3)
  6
  ikc3> double(4)
  8
  ikc3> List.map([1, 2, 3, 4], double)
  [2, 4, 6, 8]
  ikc3> List.reverse(List.map([1, 2, 3, 4], double))
  [8, 6, 4, 2]
  ```
  
  ### Library path
  
  The `List.map` and `List.reverse` functions are defined in
  `lib/kc3/0.1/list.kc3` and can be modified in real time.
  
  For example, without closing ikc3 let's redefine `List.reverse`,
  open an editor and change the line in `lib/kc3/0.1/list.kc3` from
  
  ```
    def reverse = fn {
      (x) { reverse(x, ()) }
      ([], acc) { acc }
      ([a | b], acc) { reverse(b, [a | acc]) }
    }
  ```
  
  to
  
  ```
    def reverse = fn {
      (x) { reverse(x, ()) }
      ([], acc) { [:reversed | acc] }
      ([a | b], acc) { reverse(b, [a | acc]) }
    }
  }}
  ```
  
  and check the results of the last command (up key) in ikc3/ikc3 :
  
  ```
  ikc3> List.reverse(List.map([1, 2, 3, 4], double))
  [:reversed, 8, 6, 4, 2]
  ```
  
  Don't forget to revert the changes to `list.kc3`.
  
  
  ### kc3s
  
  Script interpreter. Works the same as ikc3 but is not interactive
  and does not output results.
  
  
  ### HTTPd
  
  HTTP daemon, use `make test_httpd`.
  
  The http daemon is defined in `httpd/httpd.c` and
  `lib/kc3/0.1/httpd.kc3`.
  
  The http daemon is both a static file server listing directories and
  serving files for display or download (Web 1.0), and a MVC framework
  loading KC3 files in `./app`. The router is defined in
  `./conf/router.kc3` .
