Uhh… What? I’m confused. Did you think this would be a smoking gun to your argument? Of course Time.now() is an effectful routine. This is not a strange idea to “FP purist zealots” either. How is it defined in Elm? Time.now : Task x Posix How is it defined in Haskell? Data.Time.Clock.getCurrentTime :: IO UTCTime And no, you have not given any examples of using JavaScript in a type-safe way. If you think you have, it means you don’t adequately understand type-safety.
