title: How would you implement a totipotent message?
body: <p>I know nothing about real programming, and I came across this in a discussion with a friend. </p>
  
  <p>Messages are the lifeblood of systems, how would you go about implementing a self-transforming message? </p>
  
  <p><code>
  o = { 
  a : 123,
  dna: function(a){ 
   o.b = 'cxa';
   return t(a,b)
  }
  </code></p>
  
  <p>There's nothing safe about the idea of evaluating code being sent over the wire.</p>
  
  <p>Regardless, what do you think?</p>
