imperative style code

[Răzvan Rotaru]

Hi,

Is imperative style code allowed in Roy (i.e. a function definition is a sequence of steps, with the return value coming from the last step). If so, then what would be the purpose of the do notation ?

Thanks,
Razvan

PureScript has the same goals I had with Roy but hits them much better:

Similar to Roy, it's possible to violate referential transparency in
PureScript but you'll have to write FFI code to do it.

So, the answer is no? :)

I know about purescript, I played with it a little. That's how I found out about Roy.
