This software is incomplete. Don't try to use it.

Latest working example:

{-# OPTIONS -F -pgmF lisk #-}

(module demo
  "A demo program!")

  (import data.char system.io (data.map :as map))

  (:: main ('io ()))
  (= main
    (do
      (<- line get-line)

      (case :do get-line
        ("" (put-str-ln "* * Empty!"))
        (x (put-str-ln x)))
      (foo the-line)
      (return ())))

  (= demo
