Two reasons against eval:
- Lots of new users lean on eval we they don't really understand how
it works and the various tradeoffs.
- Static analysis (manual or automatic) goes out the window. Eval can
do anything. If your program using eval starts doing odd things you'll
have a hell of a time understanding it.
