I really like to avoid using the 'return' keyword inside
expressions, because I find it visually confusing - hear me out

When you're reading a function and trying to understand its
control flow, one of the main elements you're searching for is
all the places the function can return from.
If the code has a lot of anonymous functions with return
statements this can really slow down the process as you have to
more carefully inspect every return to see if it's a 'real'
return or inside an anonymous function.
Also, in case it wasn't obvious, the do() syntax was inspired by
Clojure:
