Performance Notes
Execution depends on interpreter efficiency
Program size, not runtime, is primary concern
Avoid deep recursive expressions for testing
Evaluation may be slow due to pure functional reduction
Focus on compactness and correctness over speed
Security Notes
BLC programs are purely functional and safe
No inherent I/O or network access
Run in isolated interpreter environment
Safe for experimentation on local machine
Security concerns minimal beyond interpreter integrity
Monitoring Analytics
Monitor output correctness
Track program size and encoding length
Analyze reduction steps for complexity
Debug using textual lambda representation
No built-in analytics
Code Quality
Use clear combinator naming for readability
Document encoding conventions
Validate reduction results
Keep expressions minimal and correct
Test across interpreters when possible
