The imperativeness of Racket really doesn't come so much from the *! functions, but instead things like `begin` which explicitly sequence program statements in such a way that only allows them to interact via external mutable state.
- taeric 12y agoI have a feeling we are on yet different definitions of imperative and such. (define x 3) (display x) (set! x (add1 x)) (display x) is about as imperative as they come, by my definition. And not a begin in site.
- tel 12y agoYeah, there's sort of an implicit begin around the whole thing, though.
