-# Chapter 1: Genesis
-
-This chapter goes through the processes involved in reading source
-code, running it, and optionally compiling it.
-
-1. [Parse](1-parse.html) (see also [grammar](grammar/))
-
- The parser receives a stream of bytes and transforms them into a
- minimal set of data types with very little processing.
-
-2. [Decode](2-decode.html)
-
- The decoder runs configurable and extensible pre-processing steps
- over data received from the parser, enriching it with more complex
- data types, and handling primitive source code transforms. It's
- comparable to the C pre-processor or Lisp's `DEFMACRO` mechanism,
- with a few more responsibilities, such as number literal parsing.
-
-3. [Execute](3-execute.html)
-
- Code is executed (or interpreted, or evaluated) in an environment,
- also called a module, which may be mutated, and linked with other
- modules. Execution is immediate, without any pre-compilation.
-
-4. [Compile](4-compile.html)
-
- Procedures from within the compiler module can be used to demand
- the compilation of other modules, with various options, yielding
- static or dynamic object files. These may be loaded immediately,
- replacing the previously uncompiled module code in memory.
