I don't understand the monad because I'm too stupid, but I really really like Roy nevertheless.
I've really missed static typing on Javascript and Coffeescript; little typos are so hard to find! Structured typing really sounds like the way to go for putting type checking into Javascript, and I like how, just like Coffeescript, Roy tastes a lot like Javascript otherwise - avoiding all kinds of leaky abstractions you get with less JS-like languages. Plus, it has a sexy syntax.
I'd like to try this out in a real project. Is that being done already?
