Rituals (Functions)

Rituals are first-class values. Define one with ritual, return with give.

ritual add(a, b) {
  give a + b
}
proclaim add(2, 3)

A ritual with no give returns naught. Rituals close over their defining scope and can be passed around like any value.

Divined rituals

A divined ritual has no body — the entire implementation is delegated to the oracle. Its arguments become the operands; the oracle invents the result:

ritual sentiment(text) divined
proclaim sentiment("this product is amazing")   // -> e.g. "positive"
