{{task}} Demonstrate your language's ability for programs to execute other programs in the language provided at runtime. Show us how you get values in and out (e.g. environments, arguments, return values), and what facilities for restricting (e.g. sandboxes, resource limits) or specializing (e.g. debugging facilities) the execution.

{{task}} Demonstrate your language's ability for programs to execute other programs in the language provided at runtime. Show us what kind of program( fragment)s are permitted (e.g. expressions vs. statements), how you get values in and out (e.g. environments, arguments, return values), and what facilities for restricting (e.g. sandboxes, resource limits) or specializing (e.g. debugging facilities) the execution.

You may not invoke a separate evaluator program, or invoke a compiler and then its output, unless the interface of that program, and the syntax and means of executing it, are considered part of your language/library/platform.
