Interesting concept. The article mentioned that other languages determine blocking automatically based on usage of the variables. So in your example, it could be determined that x and y must be calculated first before pyth_distance is called with x and y. Would you incorporate this kind of automatic detection into your language? Why or why not, and to what level? Would it perhaps be safer for the language to determine blocks for you?
