Ah, I was wondering when this would come up. :) I definitely think it's *reasonable* to want to separate out compilation from execution, especially for limited memory devices. There are...

Yeah, that API would be easy to change (or to add another one). There's nothing fundamental about why Wren copies the source string. It just needs to ensure the passed...

I did some scraping to see how well @eernstg's primary constructor proposal (#3023) would work in practice. I looked the 2,000 most recent pub packages (~12MLOC). Of the 81,968 that...
