You already have something like this (production ready) through effect systems in Haskell (ex. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/effectful )

Except for the structural editing enabled by the usage of parenthesis, all the other features can be achieved without them in ex. Haskell: a = let foo = 10 bar = foo + 32 in foo * bar b = 1 & (+ 2) & (*

I also find it curious that a language with a preemptive scheduler requires manual "yield" points by constantly checking on the context if the current function should stop executing.

Is it correct to assume that the "cancellation" part of `Context` is similar to C#'s `CancellationToken`? Also, it looks like it allows to pass some "implicit parameters" to another function. If that's the case

100% agree. It usually autocompletes better than the language's LSP since it takes a lot of context into consideration. It's a godsend for repetitive tasks or trivial stuff.

I don't care how many credentials Jonathan Blow has, this take is pure bs. "we're spending all this time overcomplicating stuff that we used to be able to do in 1960", yet he takes the time to explain "tricks"

Look up 'Hindley–Milner type system'. AFAIK, one feature that break this system is subtyping which is very common in many programming languages.

In the general case, adding IO to any piece of code requires changing all callers. I would argue that it's a feature, not a bug: now `f x` is no longer a value, but an action: calling it twice can result in duplicated logs, for example

My experience has been a total opposite. I've been able to deliver quite complex features in a couple of lines of vert readable code thanks Observables. Of course, you can write terrible code with it, but the same goes for every techno
