The trio the author decided on 2026-09-20 is now all built: def is CL's defparameter — its initialiser runs on every daemon re-run, unguarded, so an edited initialiser repaints the same storage on C-c C-c plus re-run — defonce (Clojure's name for CL's defvar, per the author) initialises once behind the .init~once. flag, and defconst stays the image. One parse arm reads both forms; the difference is Ast.reinit, carried to Tast.global's grerun. Emit.startup_plan gives a def no guard flag, and Check.check_global lifts every def initialiser — zero and literal included — into global/<n>, so the host's startup reaches it through the function cell and a re-evaluated def swaps it (Session's def_inits; Emit.redefinition declares the cell for a non-sibling target). The old defvar spelling is refused with the rename and both compiling spellings, and every program, test, doc and editor list is swept — except sand.flan, the author's live WIP, whose seven defvar lines are flagged in FIX.org and keep its three dependent tests red on this branch.

;;;; (array COUNT TYPE) — the zeroed fixed array a [let] binding could not ask
|
|
;;;; for. A let has no type slot, so [4 V2] there is an array *literal* of two
|
|
;;;; elements and the second of them is a type name, which is an unknown name
|
|
;;;; and not a helpful error. The type spelling is untouched: `points` below is
|
|
;;;; still declared [3 V2], and the two are the same type, which is the point —
|
|
;;;; the constructor is assignable to the declaration.
