Add unit tests
It seems like this could be extremely useful.
A decent project to start with might be bats: https://github.com/sstephenson/bats
Totally, but we should hold off until namespaces, exceptions, and deftype are baked. Then we'll be able to have our own testing library :-)
Yeah, though it's helpful to use tests even at this early stage

This has occurred to me as well.
Part of the reason I've been pushing things into core is to test out what I'm doing. Stacking functions on top of each other ensures that the whole framework is stable. It's not unit testing, but it does find problems.
However, the repl testing I'm doing can always be neglected, so it would be nice to automate it a little. A simple file like test.gk could run a series of assertions, with the expectation that they're all true. It's not much, but it might be a start.
