I'm coming from side of Haskell and Clean and I suppose that right choice of core computation model is functional eager one.
By the way, there is paper "Convergence in Language Design: A Case of Lightning Striking Four Times in the Same Place" by Van Roy

I'm planning to attack the problem of tail call elimination a few months later.
It will enable emitting idiomatic imperative code from eager functional languages.
The idea is whole program analysis and tracking which function passed to which
and coupling them into one imperative function in the case of loops.

I've definitely decided to learn Ur. Thanks for support.
