// can we express this in just a few f'ns?
// 1st do a req module and place ... link thru run.js - how to place? eval - eval is evil, says most dev.. uses interpreter, not compile 

// can probably think through how to just place, hookup, and change state: altho: how to put async? has to be tied to existing link?
// arch. now for managing multiple connections? module that does top-level linking, i.e. gets from another machine?
// can even imagine how to build c and flash
// but how to run code? put new file and reload with? kritical
