To allow for programs to be compiled once and loaded/executed multiple times with reduced overhead, the language should provide a straightforward binary representation of the program.

This representation should:

Include necessary and custom program metadata, with the option to remove internal strings
Provide program assumptions, such as modules required by the executor
Provide resource requirements, such as initial and per-function memory footprints
Allow for the immediate, linear parsing of program instructions
