  example run on compile time:

  static:
    let expr = """it == "foo""""
    let n = parseExpr(expr)
  Run

  Import the compiler as a library and use its VM.

  Evaluating a script at runtime with the VM is pretty straightforward, but bridging the VM and your host program so they can pass data and call into each other is a bit more complicated. The tcompilerapi.nim test in the nim repo is an example of how this can be done. Also, PMunch has an excellent 3 part blog series on embedding the VM, and ElegantBeef wrote nimscripter, which simplifies the process quite a bit.
