 id:            UserId,
 username:      String,
 signup_date:   Date,
 first_name:    String,
 last_name:     String,
 date_of_birth: Date?
);

OnlineForum.AddUser {
  id = self.id;
  // Inserting the new user id and setting all the mandatory attributes
  insert user(id),
         username(id, self.username),
         first_name(id, self.first_name),
         last_name(id, self.last_name),
         signup_date(id, self.signup_date);
  // Setting the date_of_birth attribute, if available
  insert date_of_birth(id, self.date_of_birth) if self.date_of_birth?;
}

Example from the web:

reactive Thermostat {
  input:
    temperature: Float;

  output:
    on: Bool;

  state:
    // When the system is initialized, on is true if
    // and only if the current temperature exceeds 28°C
    on: Bool = temperature > 28.0;

  rules:
    // Switching on the air conditioner when
    // the temperature exceeds 28°C
    on = true when temperature > 28.0;

    // Switching it off when it falls below 24°C
    on = false when temperature < 24.0;
}
