array indexing is the same as function calling: (a 1) -> 20

# builtin functions
(clock): clock(3)
(say x): print representation of x, followed by newline
(write x): print representation of x, with no newline
(writebytes a): a is a list of nums in [0,255]
+ (readstring filename): reads whole file as a string
(arr): create new empty array
(append! a x): appends to array a in place, returns a
+ (delete! a i): deletes element i of array a. i must be in bounds. returns a
(# a): get length of array a
(, ...): pend. concatenates arrays, promotes non-arrays to arrays
(, [1 2 3] 4) -> [1 2 3 4]
(, [1 2 3] [4 5]) -> [1 2 3 4 5]
(, 10 20) -> [10 20] etc
(s, ...): spend. concatenates strings
+ (s,@ a): spendsplat. (s,@ [a b c]) <=> (s, a b c)
+ (ssub? needle haystack): is substring?
+ (ssplit delim text): splits text on delim, delim is removed from sections
+ (schars-ascii s): returns arr containing ascii chars (bytes) in s
+ (sin x) (cos x) (ceil x) (floor x) (abs x): should be obvious
