@borkdude i remember that was possible to control things like "max stack size", "max recur limit", "max list size" in sci. But I can't find docs about it.
@souenzzo There was something like this very early on but it was removed because of several reasons: performance, but also: once you want this level of control, you usually also want timeout control, etc and SCI can't offers this: the host runtime should be able to do this. I've got something like this working in the #nbb REPL: when you type (range) there it's stuck, but you can press ctrl-c to interrupt the "vm" and then it's back into the REPL. Another very simple way to prevent such a problem is to use print-length.
@souenzzo Perhaps you can explain your use case in more detail
to be fair, sci could offer this
Not reliable enough since you then need to patch most of the core function etc
