This is essentially where I'm going with ix. Vim with an awesome haskell-like language underneath whose syntax is optimized for doing powerful stuff in command mode. A prototype is at https://github.com/jayferd/ix

I don't know if this can be solved without a syntax change. As long as there is variable binding and variable mutation are conflated in the syntax, there's really no good way for the compiler to distinguish between the two. It&#

This is a problem in most imperative-paradigm languages, unfortunately. The issue is in the semantics of the `for` loop, which make everything confusing both for the programmer and the compiler.

Uh, it is not at all vitriol. You read the thing right? It's about self-discovery and the discomfort we all feel when we find out we're supporting violent or oppressive systems.
