// construct parser
val result: List[Item] = rep(whitespace(item()))(code) match
  case Accept(value, rem) => // parser accepted
    if (rem.forall(_.isWhitespace)) { // all input was read
      val instructions = CompilationManager().compile(value)
      val runtime = Runtime(
        mutable.Stack.from(instructions), // code stack
      )
      runtime.run()
      runtime.getResult // return stack as a List
    }
    else throw IllegalArgumentException(s"Unexpected input at the end: '$rem'")
