	EXECUTION (aka RUN): the process used to execute the CODE
        INTERPRET
        JUST-IN-TIME COMPILE (aka JIT, DYNAMIC COMPILE)
        COMPILE (aka STATIC COMPILE)

    SOURCE CODE (aka CODE): the language used to write the text representation of the OPS and TYPES
        PERL
        RPERL
        CPP
        C
        XS

    OPERATIONS (aka OPS): the language used to execute the operations on the TYPES
        PERL
        CPP

    DATA TYPES (aka TYPES): the language used to store the data types
        PERL_DYNAMIC (aka NONE, should be aka PERL)
        PERL_STATIC (aka PERL, should be aka RPERL)
        CPP
    
    DATA TYPE CHECKING (aka CHECK): function & method arguments must be correct data type, naturally on for CPP TYPES
    	OFF
    	ON (no report)
    	TRACE (report variable name & calling function)

INTERPRET run,  PERL code,      PERL ops,   PERL_DYNAMIC types,	OFF check	= NORMAL PERL
INTERPRET run,  PERL code,      PERL ops,   PERL_STATIC types,	TRACE check	= RPERL PERLOPS_PERLTYPES aka PURE-PERL MODE
...

COMPILE run,    C code,			PERL ops,   PERL_DYNAMIC types, OFF check   = B::CC OUTPUT non-typed
COMPILE run,    C code,			PERL ops,   PERL_STATIC types,  TRACE check = B::CC OUTPUT typed

[[[ COMPONENTS ]]]

SOURCE CODE: highest-level human-readable text data
ABSTRACT SYNTAX TREE (aka AST): next-to-highest-level data structure representation of SOURCE CODE
DOCUMENT SYNTAX TREE (aka DOCTREE): higher-level static-analysis AST
OPERATIONS SYNTAX TREE (aka OPTREE): lower-level dynamic-analysis AST
BYTECODE: medium-level intermediate representation, used as MACHINE CODE for VIRTUAL MACHINE
ASSEMBLY CODE: next-to-lowest-level text representation of MACHINE CODE
MACHINE CODE: lowest-level computer-readable binary data

VIRTUAL MACHINE: non-physical software processor, executes OPTREE or BYTECODE
MACHINE: physical hardware processor, executes MACHINE CODE

TOKEN: individual SOURCE CODE component


[[[ ACTIONS ]]]

LEXICAL ANALYSIS (aka LEXER, TOKENIZE): convert SOURCE CODE to TOKENS
PARSE (aka DECOMPOSE, DECONSTRUCT, ANALYZE): convert SOURCE CODE to AST, or TOKENS to AST, same language

GENERATE (aka EMIT, RENDER): convert AST to SOURCE CODE, during WALK TREE, different languages
STRINGIFY (aka PRETTY PRINT, SERIALIZE): convert DATA TYPES to SOURCE CODE

WALK TREE: visit every node in AST
TRANSLATE: convert SOURCE CODE to SOURCE CODE, or AST to AST, or MACHINE CODE to MACHINE CODE, different languages

COMPILE: convert SOURCE CODE to BYTECODE, or SOURCE CODE to MACHINE CODE, before EXECUTION
DECOMPILE: convert BYTECODE to SOURCE CODE, or MACHINE CODE to SOURCE CODE
JIT: convert SOURCE CODE to MACHINE CODE, or BYTECODE to MACHINE CODE, during EXECUTION
INTERPRET: convert SOURCE CODE to OPTREE, or SOURCE CODE to BYTECODE, during EXECUTION

ASSEMBLE: convert ASSEMBLY CODE to MACHINE CODE
DISASSEMBLE: convert MACHINE CODE to ASSEMBLY CODE

EXECUTION (aka RUNTIME): convert OPERATIONS to DATA, and DATA to different DATA
