Clever way to combine parenthesis-less functions and boolean expressions. This isn't new, it's already done by POSIX shell script :) if ! check_stuff 123 "stuff" && is_ok 45 67; then ... fi This could be done in SLUL too, but with keywords instead of expressions: if not check_stuff 123 "stuff" and is_ok 45 67 ... end Or, using `where`: where c = check_stuff 123 "stuff" where o = is_ok 45 67 if all_of c o ... end # related: when should `where` be evaluated? # - in the exact place it appears? (can be inefficient) # - at each "instantiation" (can be inefficient) # - lazilly, on first usage? # (but perhaps with a requirement that the order cannot # affect behavior) Or, using `if_all`/`if_any`/`if_none`: if_all check_stuff 123 "stuff" is_ok 45 67 then ... end # this is a form of a multi-block statement, with a expr-list-block # first and then a statement-block Perhaps `all`, `any`, `none` should be keywords on their own, so it can work with `while' loops? (but it could be confusing/impossible with assignment to boolean variables) (also, it needs to be able to "stop" at either `then`, `do`, ...) if all check_stuff 123 "stuff" is_ok 45 67 then ... end while all check_stuff 123 "stuff" is_ok 45 67 do ... end do ... while # <--- ambuigity!!! :( check_stuff 123 "stuff" is_ok 45 67 end
