As it looks gamma only supports assignments at the top level, since the "ast" function in program.cljs maps to g/set k v over the top level dictionary. The discard statement is needed for proper transparency sorting, as described in https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Transparency_Sorting .
I resorted to putting a magic vector vec4(0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0) and then doing a search/replace on the glsl string to insert a discard later, but that's not very robust to changes in the gamma compiler. Is there a better temporary hack? And is support for imperative statements expected in the future or completely out of scope?
