Typestate systems are notoriously complex as they require sophisticated machinery for tracking aliasing. We propose a new, transition-oriented foundation for typestate in the setting of impure functional programming. Our approach relies on ordered types for simple alias tracking and its formalization draws on work on bunched implications. Yet, we support a flexible notion of borrowing in the presence of typestate. Our core calculus comes with a notion of resource types indexed by an ordered partial monoid that models abstract state transitions. We prove syntactic type soundness with respect to a resource-instrumented semantics. We give an algorithmic version of our type system and prove its soundness. Algorithmic typing facilitates a simple surface language that does not expose tedious details of ordered types. We implemented a typechecker for the surface language along with an interpreter for the core language.
