<br>
I think I've got the hang of the way state is carried and fancy operators<br>
work in monads but still have a major sticky issue.<br>
<br>
With lazy evaluation where is it written that if you write things with no<br>
dependencies with a "do" things will be done in order ? Or isn't it ?<br>
<br>
Is it a feature of the language we're supposed to accept ?<br>
<br>
Is it something in the implementation of IO ?<br>
<br>
Is the do keyword more than just a syntactic sugar for a string of binds<br>
and lambdas ?<br>
