CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@apas_csc @pluralistic ... and how exactly is the 3D printer supposed to tell whether something is part of a gun?

3D printer processing power typically ranges from Arduino levels to a modern RPi.

They are extremely stupid machines. They never see the model file, they just get a list of movements, and execute them. Small tweaks in path generation settings can drastically change the output, and the model geometry is also easy to adjust.

How the hell is this supposed to work out?

@developing_agent @prozacchiwawa @jwz The first component in the parser is gonna be some kind of loop iterating over input tokens. Recognition of a single token is typically either O(1) (e.g. punctuation) or built from O(1) subtasks (e.g. literals). Putting something like

if (++work > LIMIT) abandon_ship();

after each of these might be worth a shot.
