Moreover we can translate lets to lambdas:

let () = print_endline "Foo" in
let () = print_endline "Bar" in
let () = print_endline "Baz" in
   ()

(fun () -> (fun () -> print_endline "Baz") (print_endline "Bar"))
(print_endline "Foo")

Further transformation to use bind instead of function application and
wrapping the carried value into a type, leads to monads.
