Add automatic parallelization of maps and nested forms #6

Description

@adamhaney

Currently python is plagued by the GIL, wouldn't it be nice if we broadcast s-expressions to eager mapping interpreters so that they could be evaluated outside the GIL?

Proposed approach:

  • A master process is the command and control that serves as the entry point to the running program
  • Workers are spawned in the background on startup and work is fed to them when functions that are guaranteed parallelizable can be called on multiple workers send those functions down to the workers
  • Add options to call maps etc without parallelization
