2022-10-11	r/5105 fix(tvix/eval/builtins): force acc not list element in foldl'	sterni	1	-0/+2
	When investigating discrepancies between foldl' in tvix and C++ Nix, I discovered that C++ Nix's foldl' doesn't seem to be strict at all. Since this seemed wrong, I looked into Haskell's foldl' implementation which doesn't force the list elements (`val` in our code), but the accumulation value (`res` in our code). You can look at the code here: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.17.0.0/docs/src/GHC.List.html#foldl%27 This actually makes a lot of sense: If `res` is not forced after each application of `op`, we'll end up thunks nested as deeply as the list is long, potentially taking up a lot of space. This can be limited by forcing the `res` thunk before applying `op` again (and creating a new thunk). I've also PR-ed an equivalent change for C++ Nix at https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7158. Since this is not merged nor backported to our Nix 2.3 fork, I've not copied the eval fail test yet, since it wouldn't when checking our tests against C++ Nix in depot.

2022-10-01	r/5008 docs(tvix/eval): start doc about problematic/weird lang behavior	sterni	1	-0/+39
	The idea is that we can keep track of the more unexpected behavior, behavior that maybe should not be a thing at all and behavior we are not sure about yet.

2022-09-08	r/4748 refactor(tvix/eval): return call frame result from VM::call	Vincent Ambo	1	-0/+16
	Previously, "calling" (setting up the VM run loop for executing a call frame) and "running" (running this loop to completion) were separate operations. This was basically an attempt to avoid nesting `VM::run` invocations. However, doing things this way introduced some tricky bugs for exiting out of the call frames of thunks vs. builtins & closures. For now, we unify the two operations and always return the value to the caller directly. For now this makes calls a little less effective, but it gives us a chance to nail down some other strange behaviours and then re-optimise this afterwards. To make sure we tackle this again further down I've added it to the list of known possible optimisations.

2022-09-04	r/4647 docs(tvix/eval): add a list of builtins added in Nix >= 2.4	sterni	1	-0/+11
	`builtins.getFlake` doesn't interest us, of course, but some others may be worth (or easy) to implement. They are pretty low priority, though, since nixpkgs has compatiblity wrappers for the ones it uses. The new debugging-related builtins (break and traceVerbose) are interesting to note, but may not make sense to implement at all.
