gollark: ```haskells x k = k (\x y z -> x y y (z y x)) x unsafePerformIO```
gollark: Haskell's nicer though:```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k z x unsafePerformIO```
gollark: Z expressions or whatever allow for only indent-based handling, actually.
gollark: haskell haskell (haskell) haskell (haskell $ haskell)
gollark: Might there not be a later, longer one?
