Interesting read thanks for pointing that out, a strange mashing of lisp
syntax with forth semantics, like
(func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32)
get_local $lhs
get_local $rhs
i32.add)
(get_local x) pushes one value onto the stack, and (i32.add) pops two and
pushes one. In forth this would be something like:
: add ( x y -- z) i32.add ;
everything between the parens is a stack effect comment, there are no
explicit parameters (they get passed to add on the stack) or anything like
get_local, but the idea is the same, the work of the function pops two
stack items and pushes one.
