(* How to open a portal to Hell using Standard ML
   ----------------------------------------------
   A simple program, utilising SMLofNJ.Cont to open
   a gateway to the underworlds in a very succinct and
   easy-to-understand manner. This program should be run
   with <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfNwIvO6YpU> playing,
   but it should still work if you do not play that video.
   
   Please ignore any demons attempting to communicate to
   you through this literate program. *)

(* Step 1: Confuse the type checker guard so it cannot stop
           you from ruining the purity of its process *)
datatype 'a cont = Circle of ('a Cont.cont)

(* Step 2: Gather the necessary functions to activate the portal *)
fun uncircle (Circle x) = x
(* Without the Circle wrapper, the type checker would fail with an error 
   like:

        operator domain: 'Z Cont.cont -> 'Z
        operand:         'Z Cont.cont -> 'Z Cont.cont
  It is less effort to add the Circle wrapper over our continuation
  rather than take it off later.

fun here () = uncircle (Cont.callcc Circle)
