>and even if they were, I don't think Go will help you find an arbitrary function by name at runtime

You'd be surprised:

https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#Value.MethodByName

That's about methods and not functions ;) Yes indeed, if you are partying in the context of a specific value, you can use that reflection. My language is not "OO"-aware though. Maybe after I give the embedded mode more real world use then that aspect will be unavoidable.

[coldtea]

A, yes. In that case you could expose all the functions you want in advance, in some map that's accessible by (string) name.

    // Static
    
    err = rootEnv.DefineForeignProcedure("sprintf", fmt.Sprintf)

    # Runtime

    (let x 2
         (sprintf "%d cubed is %d"
                  x
                  (pow x 3)))

    => "2 cubed is 8"

Yep, that's what I was talking about.
