    The `{..}` is from `RecordWildCards`.

    I do like the omission of `let` and `where` in favor of just variable definitions. For monadic notation, instead of `get` and `return` I'd prefer something like https://github.com/monadless/monadless

    The main problem with `do`-inspired monadic notation is that it forces monadic code to always be in A-normal form, which is pretty annoying. It'd be far nicer to allow for monadic code to look the same as normal code, just with say an extra brace (such as "IO { }") to indicate that you're inside a monad.

    Well `RecordWildcards` has been around for 14 years... but even without it instead of `{..}` you'd just have `_`s. The main thing that is different is that your Kind example had nested case statements while your Haskell example tried to match everything on one shot, which makes for a non-equivalent comparison.

    I assume you're talking about idiom brackets for applicatives? The general syntax is given in something like https://github.com/monadless/monadless. The idea is to basically take async-await syntax and generalize it to any monad.

    So e.g. your `Maybe` example (using `!` for the equivalent of `await` for concision) would look like

      Maybe {

    It, like many other things, forms a monad. In fact async-await is a specialization of various monad syntactic sugars that try to eliminate long callback chains.

    Hence things like Haskell's do-notation are direct precursors to async-await (some libraries such as Scala's monadless https://github.com/monadless/monadless make it even more explicit, there lift and unlift are exactly generalized versions of async and await).
