Fair enough. :-)

Also, a correction to what I said earlier: it's not C's = that 
corresponds to a bind <-, it's (...args...) that does. I think.

On a side note, imperative languages with first-class 
functions/delegates can express your Haskell example. For example, 
Javascript:

   var x = function() { return randomNumber(10, 15); }
   return x() + x();
