Adding sugar or using Template Haskell for such a simple task is a bit unreasonable. I think Tim should use mapM a little bit and then he will probably need no longer a special syntax.
i disagree. lack of good syntax makes imperative programming in Haskell less convenient. i want to have such syntax in order to make Haskell great imperative language:
sum <- new 0 arr <- new Array[1..3] for i in [1..3] do sum += i arr[i] := sum for i in [1..3] while arr[i]<2 do print arr[i]
let arr = scanl1 (+) [1..3] in mapM_ print (takeWhile (<2) arr)
