could you clarify what kinds of things are stored in the standard library, and how they are included, including their relevancy for particular types of programs ?

Currently, all there is are some simple stack manipulators, simple math stuff, a Pair (tuple) type, a Maybe (nullish) type and a linked List.

The stdlib will get more datastructures (Array, Dict, Set, Result, Triple...), some basic side effects (randomness, time) and functions to map to wasm intrinsics like bit-shift and math operations.

My aim is to keep the stdlib relatively small and portable between wasi and browser environments.
