For the few that I know about monads, it seemed to me that they were
only needed to have side-effects in purely functional language. As BitC
is an impure one, like Scheme, aren't Haskell programs already trivially
transformable to BitC?

Purely functional code would be written with the side-effect-free parts
of BitC, and could even be optionnally wrapped with functions that
provide memoization or lazyness, and monads would be written in full
BitC.

Curiously,
Pierre
