Summary
In this inaugural episode, Jason refactors the initialization code for the ChaiScript parser to improve performance and maintainability. The focus is on transforming dynamically initialized data members that are conceptually static and constant into truly static const objects. By moving string literals to const char* constants and converting vectors to static const arrays, Jason demonstrates how to eliminate redundant initializations while enabling better compiler optimizations. The changes result in cleaner code, slightly smaller binary size, and a potential performance improvement for ChaiScript's parsing operations.
