213 ;;Quote: ASDL, abstract syntax description language, for describing intermediate representations; concise data structure definitions, pickling functions, and automated implementation; simplification of ASN.1
215 ;;Quote: an ASDL type is defined by productions that enumerate the type's constructors; e.g., stm = Compound(stm, stm) | Assign(Id, exp) | Print (exp, list)
215 ;;Quote: ASDL defines 3 primitive types: signed integers of infinite precision, identifiers, and strings
218 ;;Quote: ASDL pickling uses a simple prefix encoding for sequence types, product types; no explicit type information except for constructor tags
218+;;Quote: writing an ASDL pickle is dominated by I/O while reading by memory allocation time
