Line 1,889:
The single ubiquitous compound data type in Quackery is the ''nest'' (a ''mostly'' immutable dynamic array), a sequence of items wrapped in square brackets. (''Mostly'' immutable; i.e. immutable except under limited circumstances beyond the scope of this discussion. When we refer to changing the contents of a nest here, this is casual speech; a shorthand for saying "creating a new instance of the nest, identical the previous instance except where it differs".)
Presented here are two solutions to the task, the "quick and dirty" solution; sufficient to the task described here, and the "overkill" solution; extending the Quackery compiler to facilitate complex compound data structures akin to structs in C etc.
===Quick and Dirty===
