Needed 1+1, built a functional programming language

This reminds me of decades ago when ...wait, I was still writing code like three years ago.

The "how to implement a hash table" article https://benhoyt.com/writings/hash-table-in-c/ was really helpful for me. I thought that hash tables were something that were basically impossible to make in C, but this showed that it was simpler.

Nice, I like this style of exposition. "Let's do this one thing -> well, shit -> (loop)". Term rewriting (graph reduction as you've said) is evaluation.
