linear types style mutation

[confusedcharlotte]

i have a small lisp library of macros and functions to enforce single use variables and i was wondering if there was a recommended way to do mutation in coalton. should i keep mutating functions on the lisp side of interop, or could i port some of this into coalton? like, does setf work?

[stylewarning]

Variable bindings themselves are not
mutable (there is no (setf x y)), but Coalton supports mutable cells. So you can use new to make a new cell, read to get its value, and write! to mutate it.

Thank you!
