I’m jealous of Haskell’s ‘where bindings’ [1], even if only to push what in (say) Python would be an assignment to below its use, so that more important things come first. You could have multi-line functions that look like ‘return...where:’ and I’d love that.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.haskell.org&#x2F;Let_vs._Where" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.haskell.org&#x2F;Let_vs._Where</a>
